Building a JEEP XJ Rear bumper Tire Carrier
Рет қаралды 78,640
Күн бұрынthis video I finish my rear bumper and tire carrier. This spare tire carrier turned out way better than I expected. I was able to mount my hi-lift jack, spare tire, and CB antenna with space to add more.
I have left links to what I bought to build this rear bumper and spare tire carrier below.
Thanks for you!

feels so odd seeing a jeep I've seen before driving down the road in my area, I live in Scott county as well. thinking " I wonder how he built that. then I look on youtube a few months later when I have the time to work on my jeep and boom you are here. I'm going to build something similar for my xj. I appreciate you making these videos finally found a design i like

That looks great! As you were working out the ergonomics, was there any good reason not to mount the tire lower? It looks like you could have dropped it 5-6” before getting in the way of the hitch.
@TheOffRoadCorner 3 жыл бұрын
Yeah it could drop that far. I just choose to mount it that high for departure clearance but I don’t like it that high. I’ll drop it down and run a hitch stringer in the future.

I've been watching a lot of videos of people making these spare tire mounts. Why not just fabricate your own plate. Drill the holes for all 5 of the studs and press them through. Looks better with all five lug nuts. You can put a lock nut on the fifth one.
@TheOffRoadCorner 3 жыл бұрын
The 5 lugs would look better but I decided to only use 3 lugs because the plate I made is drilled for 3 different bolt patterns.its drilled for 5on4.5, 5on5.5 and 8on6.5

The whole time I'm watching this I'm wondering "why did you make it swing on the drivers side?". As far as I can remember everyone always puts then on the passenger side. A simple answer of "because I did it that way" is good, just wondering if I'm missing something here.
@josephpacheco7508 3 жыл бұрын
Only question-why hinge on the left side being a US vehicle? Wouldn't it be smarter and safer to swing off the the right side so if on a busy road side, you aren't on the side of traffic?
@TheOffRoadCorner 3 жыл бұрын
the reason I hinged it on the left is for slight increase of visible of my right side blind spot. that visible was more important to me than a small chance I'd be parked on the side of a busy road and need to open the rear of my jeep. if I lived in a busy city and had to park on the street, I probably would change to a right swing.
@TWX1138 2 жыл бұрын
I've always wondered why American vehicles typically swing the tire towards the passenger's side. Most of the time one isn't removing the tire, just swinging it out of the way for access to the cargo hatch. If one's parallel-parked along the road, this means the swung-open tire carrier is blocking access to the curb. The way this has been built seems to make more sense, because when just dealing with cargo it's swung out of the way, and likely if the tire is being removed to use it then it's latched against the vehicle anyway.
@TheOffRoadCorner 2 жыл бұрын
I never thought about it that way! That’s a great point! If it swung right then you’d be passing cargo over/around the tire in that situation.
@josephpacheco7508 2 жыл бұрын
@@TheOffRoadCorner if if swings to the right, you're still BEHIND the vehicle. Not on the side of it. Plus, if your tire swings left, the right side of the road slopes, causing weight to make the tire swing back and pen you in.
@TheOffRoadCorner 2 жыл бұрын
Thats true. Probably a good idea to install a locking detent in the tire swing out like I did so it won’t pin you in that situation. There are pros and cons to both swing left or swing right. I think it’s better just to choose which way swings best for your application.

@michaelauskings1352 2 жыл бұрын
How is this holding up? Have you had any issues with this sagging? I have a Dirtbound DIY bumper/carrier to weld together, but I'm skeptical of how the weight is supported opposite the swing joint. I see you don't have much reinforcement at the latch to support vertical loading, and curious if you've had any issues. Thanks!!
