this 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 awesome man! If you ever wanna meet up and talk Jeeps, send me a email theoffroadcorner@gmail.com

@ThisTall 3 года назад

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 года назад

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.

@MasonCumpton1 7 месяцев назад

Nice bumper but I have no idea why you would have the tire swing out to the traffic side and not swinging to the passenger side of the vehicle

@FreeAmerica-sc9hu 3 года назад

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 года назад

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

@photog1529 3 года назад

Great looking swing arm. Looking to do the same for my 1995 4WD Suburban. Why GM couldn't come up with a better idea than to mount the spare inside is a real head scratcher.

@TheOffRoadCorner 3 года назад

Thanks man. This was a great project. These Cherokees are the same way with the tire inside. I don’t get it.

@travisrscott75 3 года назад

I would have put the pivot point on the right hand side so you're not opening your gate into traffic if you're on the side of the road

@travisrscott75 3 года назад

Other than that nice build

@runnfree 4 года назад

Looks good. Just hope you don't have to open your back hatch while parked along side a busy road or street with the tire swinging to the trafic.

Yeah I hear ya. I’ll just have to pull off the road a little farther if it comes down to it

@EverythingMatthews 3 года назад

@TheOffRoadCorner 3 года назад

@Bg1111ghk 4 года назад

Thats a great bumper, just out of curiosity why did you swing from the driver side instead of the passenger side?

@TheOffRoadCorner 4 года назад

purely for visibility. It the tire on the driver side it gives me more room to check my blind spot on the passenger side.

@jethro9341 Год назад

Got an update in how its been holding up?

@TheBeedeegee 3 года назад

What thickness was the piece that you attach the tire to? Was that something off the shelf or did you cut it yourself?

@TheOffRoadCorner 3 года назад

I used 3/16” steel. I cut it myself but I’m sure you can find someone selling them online.

@alexbenn3027 2 года назад

What thickness steel did you use mate

@TheDgdimick 3 года назад

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.

@michaelauskings1352 2 года назад

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!!

@andrewwatts473 3 года назад

Turned out awesome! Mind if I ask where the latch stricker pin came from and what size it is?

@TheOffRoadCorner 3 года назад

I got it from O’Reilly auto parts. It’s a striker for a 90’s ish Ford/Mercury.

@josephpacheco7508 3 года назад

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 года назад

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 года назад

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 года назад

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 года назад

@@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 года назад

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.

Dang it. Now that I've seen someone build something cool like this without having a mill, a lathe, and a 40sqft welding table I guess I don't have a lot of excuse for continuing to put doing something along these lines off anymore.

@JohnDoe-zx1ck 2 года назад

I have a lot of very cool gear in my garage and can tackle some very intricate jobs these days, but I started pretty simply. A hand grinder, welder, drill, torch and a hammer can handle nearly every thing you can think of if you think about it long enough. Just get out there and make something cool.
