Thread: Spare wheel carriers

Here's mine

Was a standard ARB rear bar with a LRA spare wheel swing away.

ARB bar has been modified to suit the 2" body lift and the corners have been trimmed and braced (rear quarter panels cut to suit). I have spent about 10 hours of cutting and welding on it.

Spare wheel carrier also houses an axe, shovel, and reversing/work light

Cheers

I have a ripper on mine but I cant find any pics of it. My FIL is a wiz on welding things up and he made 3 of these for our vehicles.

cheers mate. I am fortunate in that I work in the maintenance dept for an aluminium extrusion company, so I have access to welders, a machine shop, and a sheet metal shop and various other machines. Even better, an endless supply of of ally Having said that, the bar and wheel carrier will be made of steel, as aluminium tends to crack at the welds in these sort of applications. If you could get some pics up, I'd appreciate it. I think the hardest part will be the design, so any ideas will be gratefully accepted.

As soon as I can get photo bucket to work I will put the pics in!!

I'm about to make one for mine out of a box trailer stub axle and bearings from Superchump auto. Just have to machine up a hub to weld the tyre frame on.
