Best spare tire mount ever for an old flatfender

I love that you made it yourself.

I built my tire carrier using the front axle spindle bolted to the tire carrier, bearings, hub and drive flange. That way I had the extra parts, especially the bearings. And the spare did rotate. Kinda funny.

nice job, I love the ingenuity in your projects.

That Jeep looks like it was nickled and dimed together!! And it’s freaking perfect!!!!!

I am just about to start my 1963 Willy’s jeep and your videos have giving me good ideas and great to toos

This 3b gets better and better with every video!

Absolutely amazing quality work🎯. I really love your videos please keep em coming 👍

I did a bumper similar to that , it was 3x5x1/4 in thick tubing and used 5/8 plate for the mounts to the frame. The 5/8 plate I brought through the bumper tube was the clevis mounts for my recovery points with a 2” receiver hitch. It worked out very well and strong as hell. It was on a 1967 Jeep J3000 truck. I towed a 30’ trainer with a 43 gpw and a 73 J4000 on it and the truck and hitch never batted an eye at it. Very nice build

You do some fine fabrication, young man. I found your channel after deciding to get back into Jeeps after about 35-40 years without one. I look back on some of the things I used to do tweaking Jeeps and I wonder how I did it. I suspect you’ll look back one day and appreciate the energy you spent as a young man as well. I was in your neck of the woods last year. Can’t wait to get back.

Very well done....Your fab skills are getting better and better....It is so cool when you build your own parts..And they turn out great.Great felling inside.The more you do the faster you will become at figuring out a problem.Started out like you at 14 years old...Now i am 68 years old and have i built some projects....Retired Millwright/Machinist..And yes you can build a lot of cool projects with a small amount of tools..Great job...A+......

Just found your channel and I'm digging your building style, also can't wait to watch your previous videos. I will definitely borrow some of your ideas in building new bumpers for my 1988 Dodge Raider. Thank you for sharing.

EXCELENTE TRABAJO !!!! UN SALUDO DESDE ARGENTINA !!!

Nice work, you could put a upper brake light in that hub hole. Good to see someone working that ain’t got all the fancy shop equipment.

Another great idea that I am going to copy for both my cj5 and my cj3a. Thanks for the video

Very cool job! Now I gotta get me a plasma cutter!

"fancy tools" (19:40) and Harbor Freight (14:37) go together like aluminum and mercury. Nice build.

I LIKE YOUR RIDE COWBOY / GOOD LUCK WITH IT / PS ;; NICE JOB ON THE BUMPER AND TIER CARRIER NO B/S , REAL NICE JOB

Back in the mid 70's my Dad built a rear bumper/spare tire carrier/gas can holder. It was on our 1969 Jeep CJ-5 The Jeep had the factory 10 gal. tank under the driver's seat and we found at a swap meet an aftermarket 10 gal. tank that lived between the rear frame rails. The carrier had the spare mounted in the middle like yours but the gas cans where mounted on either side of the spare so when you looked at the Jeep from the back you saw the narrow side of the gas can. With this setup the Jeep could hold 30 gals. of gas.

Nicely done. I ran into the same challenge with the Destaco clamp in the EMS kit. It is designed to operate in a *90 fashion. Had to get a different clamp because I waited til the end of my build to engineer the clamp on my dual swing out.

Nice work

outstanding!

Jacob nice build on the rear bumper,hitch mount and tire carrier with the hub is a fantastic idea.Your skills and ideas are fantastic. Keep up the great work. Thanks for sharing.☺️☺️☺️👍👍👍👍

Like it. If you use a postal JEEP flange it has only three bolts. That might give it a unique look. I know I know.... you already have the other one. Thanks for the fun.

Came out nice, I like the hub idea.

Great job like your way to bend tha tube.appreciations from jeep m38a1 owner Denmark

very nice project ... love it

I have to make my bumper soon. You have given me lots of ideas. Thanks

Love your videos. I am new to Jeeps. Just bought a 1960 CJ5 rust bucket. Can't wait to get started. Keep the videos coming.

Good Job!!... man

Great work, you are very skilled and creative. Enjoyed the quality and detail that went into your video. I have a 50 CJ2a, and am new to your +channel. Looking forward to watching all your videos!

Love the build. I’m planning something similar for my 71’ CJ5.

In side stupni is in orignal bsck side is extra safty.

Man, great job!

very nice work my friend, thanks for posting, giving me some ideas.

I am impressed with the wonderful custom ♪

Awesome! Great problem solving and creativity!!

Dang good job thank for making the video

Hey I just found your channel and really like this build. I have bumperets on my 75 CJ and this is a great idea I think you gave me the motivation to build a strong bumper.

Nice work as usual. I think some sponsors need to hook you up with a tube bender!

Nice job.

Be careful with that welded on hub, the cast hubs get brittle when you weld it and can break off on hard bumps. I did the same thing and lost my spare tire on the highway. Maybe run a supporting rod from the steel frame to the back of one of the steel wheel studs? Your bubba bends came out really nice!

Congrats! very well done !!!

Great video glad you posted keep them coming thanks

Great work,I’m the same way with buying tools sometimes it’s hard to justify buying them if you’re not going to use it much. I’ve been more open to renting lately. I really like how you made the bend in the pipe. Thanks for the video

Thanks

Awesome!

Very cool!

Great video! Thanks!

Brilliant job on the rear bumper and wheel holder! Suits the rest of the Jeep, Well done 👍🙄

The Jerry can of Petrol is place on the top of the hood and make bracket to hold the jerry can. The oldest Jeep that you have is where the fuel is gravity fed. Yep it is original Like Kaiser-Willys where Overland is sold to R&R company and converted to Juan manufactory of Windsor engined jeep wagons shorty wheel base Quad. In Southeast Asia, he made the tubular unit called spare tire holder swing sideways. With his welding elbow and straight tubes all together without using the bender so he had many different pipe angle 45 degree and 90 degree and 20 degree elbow. It was why he build nice looking spare tire holder. The tube bender can also carries the pipe expanders it depends the set.

that jeep was so perfect at first................................

Great job partner 👍 Tell your dad Blake Shelton hi.

Great video! I like the jeep build.

Very cool! I like it 👍

The hole saw for add the spindle hinge of your spare tire holder to the rear bumper. Naw, it needs acetylene and oxygen tanks for making a hole for the spindle to to the work of the rear bumper. The acetylene is more expensive than Mapp Gas 20 Cubic foot. Use the Mapp gas and red glow the rear bumper to make a hole on the top. Then blow oygen fast balst blow then it cuts - it makes hole in one second after prep it with blue torch that made the rear bumper red glow about 15 second but with Mapp gas about 30 sec. Because plasm cutter for thick gauge will take like 2 min or 3 min to cut the hole. The hole saw does not last at all. You are a welder not a sawyer. The hole saw is slow like 5 kinutes to make a hole plus they don't make it anymore called resin holding diamond zirconia grit in the hole saw. Then use a single cut round file to cut the hole into accurate hole or use the burr bit whetstone with the unremovable Campbell-Hausfeld shank and attach to hi-speed drill's chuck. Thank you.

How about a mounting a spindle then you could have all the spare parts. Added bonus you can spin it like wheel of Fortune

I love your content. So helpful with my build

Really nice job on the whole thing. I've still got the original Jeep towbar on my 3B, but seriously considering something like what you built.

THE WHEELS

Excelente. Muy bueno. Te felicito

I'm a new subscriber and I really liked how you made your tire rack for your spare tire. It came out looking fantastic. I would have liked to see it open with the tire on it but there's always next time lol. Keep up the great work and God Bless you and your family. Have a Happy New Year. 🥂💯👍👍🙏🙏✌😊✌

Nice work kid. Respect. Sub’d

You did good planning of cut away the flip down spare tire holder tubular and change it into swing type spare tire holder. The tubular could be bent up to 20 tons of exert by the arbor press hold by 1 inch square hole bench vice versus Gantry type bender by the RogueFab 6 or 5 foot maximal height or by Vevor with curved anvil dies includes round groove for pipe size 1 1/2 inch pipe and another die for bender 12 tons jack Eastwood 1 1/4 inch pipe handling by the spoon wrecking bar 6 foot long x 1 inch thick for heavy duty type in your truck or Jeep stop shop. Near my mobile shop crane shop. I don't have that super duty pipe and wrecking bar that weight around 18 pound spoon.

You must to do a roll bar same like cj7

That is so well thought out! i just bought '52 Willys. once i get it running, i will need to make a spare tire rack. only problem mounting spare at the rear might block rear sight? what about have it mount on the right rear side, would it block the right vision and offset the turning balance when rounding the corner? of course I know turning any corner requires slower speed. i have seen tire mount on the rear side, but not sure how the handling feel? Ty you for this insightful idea.

better then what i made

that is sweet

Man I like your style and work! Great job. I hope to get started on mine soon and use a lot of what you’ve done. Keep it coming.

That turned out great. I'm curious why you didn't just leave the frame mounts long and use them as your recovery points.

So you used nothing from that old tire carrier. I love when we plan things and by the time we are done its completely diffrent. Good job man looks great.

👍👍

Muy buen trabajo

süpersin thanks

👍

لا حاجة الى جركن الوقود فقد يشوه المنظر..

Hey how are ya? I sure like you channel thank you for the studded knuckle, gas tank steering, seat notch videos. I was looking at the tail lights what are those I would like to get those for my 1969 cj5. Thank you for teaching us, I look forward to your videos. God bless you and yours

That’s a great video. I’m going to borrow some of your ideas. Can you tell me what brand and model of plasma cutter you are using? Do you like it? I’m shopping for one now. Looking for recommendations. Thanks.

Looks awesome, I think I will try to make one for my CJ along with a jerry can holder. On the contrary, what size wheels and tries are you having in this video?

I am working on my 53 3B. What gas tank are you using. I have been looking, measuring various tanks to mount in the rear. Planning to incorporate the swing away tire mount also.

Nice build man… where did you research and find the u-bolt sliders or did you custom those as well…? Thanks for any help

Hi , what about the jerry can holders ?

COOL MAN!! Nice work! 👌😎 The CJ is coming along!! I dig the orange rims! what size tires are you using?

just wondering if ya put a lift on this if so where ya get it at ? Thank you

Great video! how is the tire size? thanks

It's called "Spatter."

every single touch is million words equivalent. very talkative...

i found a 1954 3b for sale how you liking yours & going offroad.

You cowboys must run poor tires to need tire carrier like that.

Nice work
