Mangled a fence pipe to see what it will take to make a stinger style spare tire carrier work

Kinda getting there, inspector Meathead says it will work

Will copy the bends of this thing, make it out 1.5" 0.120 wall tube, then add a tube between the legs so I can bolt the tire to it that part will extend forward so I can attache it to center of the lower cross bar of the cage and that's it, one tire carrier build.
The krawler weighs 100lbs and I can take probably close to that in junk out of the back of my Jeep so weight wise it wouldn't make much of a difference.

Spend last Sunday hanging out with some friends

Went to visit a wheelin buds house for some wrenching fun and hanging out.

Kurt wished the front of his house had this many Jeeps in front of it everyday!

It's hard to find good help, but these two did alright
Nick helped me get some tube fenders made up
Image

Mr. green is getting a new (to him) HP D30. We swapped his ARB over and installed new 488 R&P for him. Actually he did most of the work. i (Kurt) drank Coronas and pointed a lot...

Image

Image

Art came by to make sure we did it right

A happy, healthy axle ready for duty

Today's little projects
Made a license plate mount on the tire carrier
Added a bit of tube to the cage.
Also got the last 40" MTR delivered by Brown Santa.
For decent price on MTR's and free shipping to some states check this place out.

I rolled mine outside today, the little girl was aching for fresh air and a tan

Out in the sunlight

Found some stickers in the mail, never asked for them. Thought that was a pretty cool gesture

Difference between 37" tire and 40" tire 36.5" versus 39.5"
