In this video I show you how to build a swing gate tire carrier using the stock bumper. I used a tire carrier hinge kit from EMS Offroad and 2"x2" square tube steel to build the actual carrier.
The truck in this video is a 1995 Ford F150 single cab with the 5.0.
In Part 1, I will show you how to reinforce the top of the bumper, weld the hinge, swing arm, and upright.

Good stuff! One long video. Every time I was thinking of something in my head, you said it haha. like using a hole saw for the round part into the tube.

@TheMinuteMasters 5 лет назад

GageFixesEverything Thanks!🤙 Good to know. I’m putting together an engine install video. So I’ll try to keep it one video. Awesome man! Great to hear that other people think like I do.

@patrickphippspa584 5 лет назад

Nice job buddy! Always enjoy your videos and the time and effort you put into them. You had me laughing with all that fancy welding and thought, til I spied those nylocks holding the lic plate on, lol!

@TheMinuteMasters 5 лет назад

Patrick PhippsPA Thanks! I’m glad you enjoyed them! Hahaha! Yeah it was my quick fix. My plate is still held on with them! Lol

I want to add this to my 2000 Ford Ranger, it’s my daily but it’s also my work truck for my lawn care business

@jeremiahdelossantos3035 4 года назад

I was looking at this kit you posted on part 2. The latch is different. Im wanting a lift up pin latch as you got. , but i dont seei it. Where did you find it at

@ITUMBLE4U 6 лет назад

I love that you are willing to innovate and do your own thing. Would have loved to see your welding.

@TheMinuteMasters 6 лет назад

ITUMBLE4U Thanks man! I appreciate it! I’m just trying to solve those every day problems that plague people who own these old trucks. So the welds penetrated well. They just had a bit too much spatter for my liking. I’ve since learned I may need to dial back my wire speed to reduce the spatter.

@ITUMBLE4U 6 лет назад

The Minute Masters I love to weld but I'm not very good at it. I bought a Millermatic 211 and it is very capable for a hobbyist/home user. My first weld was putting a cap back on a digging bar. It's been all downhill from there...LOL. I noticed your paracord and your scarf...military?

@TheMinuteMasters 6 лет назад

ITUMBLE4U Same here! I picked up a welder by a company called Eastwood. I’m in military based organization called the US Naval Sea Cadet Corp. We train youth for military service, if they choose to go in. One of my videos on my channel is titled Shipboard Training. That’s a basic seamanship training evolution, I’ve typically instructed for. I’ve been in to for 14 years. I’m trying to get an officer commission in the Navy though.

@ITUMBLE4U 6 лет назад

The Minute Masters My brother was an Intel Officer on the John F. Kennedy during the Gulf War. I got to go on a"Tiger Cruise" on the carrier from Portsmouth to Norfolk. One of the most amazing things I've experienced was standing on the deck when they were launching and catching Tomcats. Much respect, good luck with your commission, that would be life changing, to say the least.

@TheMinuteMasters 6 лет назад

ITUMBLE4U Tiger Cruises are amazing experiences! I’m glad you got to go o one! Thanks man! I appreciate it!

@TheMinuteMasters 6 лет назад

Part 2 will be up after the weekend! Once it's up the link at the end of the video will be available. Enjoy part 1!

@broncoadventures1 5 лет назад

I was thinking about doing this, long term has it held up, any rattling off road, etc

@TheMinuteMasters 5 лет назад

Bronco Adventures So the carrier had held up amazingly. However, there are a few things a wish I had added earlier on. First thing, is a lock out system. So when the carrier is in the open position, it needed a pin to hold it there. Second, I wish I had a latch system holding it closed instead of a loose pin. The pin never got knocked out of the hole no matter how bad the roads were. However, the constant rattling and up and down movement has worn the hole wider. So if you can address those two issues, your tire carrier will be much better than mine.🤙

@glennwill638 5 лет назад

for me i would like one long video,

@TheMinuteMasters 5 лет назад

Good to know! I unfortunately, made my engine removal video a two part series. They are much longer videos though. Thanks for watch!🤙

I need some info on the spindle bearing you use ,where you buy it and what size is it. Thank you in advance for your video awesome.

@TheMinuteMasters 6 лет назад

Carlos Escalona The spindle came as a kit from emsoffroad.com. So I’m not sure what size the bearings are race are but I can pull the cap and measure it for ya.

@javierjose6328 3 года назад

Hello, how has the bumper held up with the extra weight? Any stress cracks?

@TheMinuteMasters 3 года назад

Overall, the bumper has held up very well. One of the welds inside the bumper where the support 2x2 box steel was attached broke. However, I think I over heater the steel when I welded it.

@ItMeZumn 4 года назад

Great video otherwise. What spindle is that? I will look into making my own as well thanks.

@TheMinuteMasters 4 года назад

Ricardo Jacobo Thanks man!🤙 I bought that spindle from ems offroad. You can buy them from just about any off-road fabrication company. I searched tire carrier spindle kit and found that one.

Ricardo Jacobo No problem man!🤙

@emiliotorres2802 5 лет назад

Do you have the bearing Part number and what gauge steel did you use?

@TheMinuteMasters 5 лет назад

emilio torres Like the whole hinge kit part number or the actual bearings in the hinge? I used 1/8 thick wall 2x2 square tube. I thing I could have used 1x2 tube though.

@emiliotorres2802 5 лет назад

I think I found the hinge kit thank you. So do you think the 1/8 was plenty strong or would you go up to 3/16 or is that overkill?

@TheMinuteMasters 5 лет назад

emilio torres I think 1/8 is plenty. 3/16 would be too hefty.

@emiliotorres2802 5 лет назад

@@TheMinuteMasters thanks again, nice build!

@TheMinuteMasters 5 лет назад

emilio torres You are most welcome! I’m glad you enjoyed it!🤙

@austenk4716 5 лет назад

Can you post a detailed parts list please? Bearing part # and dimensions etc?

@TheMinuteMasters 5 лет назад

Austen King So the hinge is a kit I bought from EMS Offroad: emsoffroad.com/tire-carrier-kit/ The tube steel is just regular 2 inch by 2 inch square tube steel you can buy from any steel supply warehouse.

@TheMinuteMasters 5 лет назад

Austen King I’ll post the dimensions for ya when I get a chance!🤙 Thanks for watching though!

@jimloftus6937 3 года назад

What spindle did you use for the swing out

@TheMinuteMasters 3 года назад

I bought a tire carrier spindle kit from EMS Off-road. But just about any off road fab online store sells spindle kits. The link for the kit is in the description.🤙

@ItMeZumn 4 года назад

That Black block you have at center of the 2x2 square tubing, why not put a rubber block, similar to, so that when traveling or off roading there is way more support than when parked and not getting stressed.

@TheMinuteMasters 4 года назад

Ricardo Jacobo Like put a rubber block under the horizontal arm to support it? That way it doesn’t move up and down.

@ItMeZumn 4 года назад

@@TheMinuteMasters yes because I imagine anything out of the ordinary is going to cause warping or bending of that arm. Just thinking 100lb+ wheel... 🤷🏿‍♂️

@TheMinuteMasters 4 года назад

Ricardo Jacobo So believe it or not it held it really well. I’ve since removed it because the holding pin was wearing a larger hold in the bumper.

@scottb.innovations4386 5 лет назад

that plate should have been welded un the bumper top

@TheMinuteMasters 5 лет назад

Scott Banks Yeah looking back. I would even have had a plate at all. I didn’t actually need it once the support was welded on the inside.

@bobbynichols7159 3 года назад

I would have never put that kind of weight on that cheap factory bumper

@TheMinuteMasters 3 года назад

After I made the initial plate with the spindle I saw that. Then I added the internal support piece which helped a lot.

@ronniebuhler1815 6 лет назад

one way to ruin a truck

@TheMinuteMasters 6 лет назад

Ronnie Buhler How so? I can easily reverse the job.

@ronniebuhler1815 6 лет назад

The Minute Masters reverse it and throw the spare tire on the box

@TheMinuteMasters 6 лет назад

Ronnie Buhler I thought about it, but I need to be able to access the box. Probably in the future, I’ll shorten one side of the box and make a slot for the tire to sit in.

@ronniebuhler1815 6 лет назад

The Minute Masters oh ok that sounds like a good plan

@TheMinuteMasters 6 лет назад

Ronnie Buhler Maybe a year or so from now. For now this will have to due.
