I wasn't planning on corner armor but here we are!
In my opinion it is very important to stay flexible when metal fabricating. This tire carrier is a great example of how plans change along the way and if you can stay flexible you can continue to move forward in your project! Tire carriers of this type have many moving puzzle pieces that need to fit together tightly. We have multiple hinges, latches and mounting locations in this project. These pieces all need to mesh together and ensuring proper fitment every step of the way is paramount.
My recommendation to any beginner looking at attempting a metal fabrication project like this is to take your time and work through these challenges patiently. If you compartmentalize each piece then a project of this size is much less intimidating just time consuming.
With right tools, attitude and planning you can do projects like this. Until then enjoy the videos! I have many more overlanding specific DIY projects on the way and I look forward to sharing the next video with you guys!

Union sheet metal fabricator here, that at-home press-break is very cool, but when your forming panels for finish work (i.e., stuff you're going to have visible on the exterior of your Disco), you should use a "rubber" (just a flat 0.03 or 0.015 thick rubber strip, comes in rolls) on the V-die, this will minimize back-breaks & other visible blemishes. Cheers & keep up the great work/great content!

I really like where this bumper is going and it is giving me a lot of ideas for my own project. One potential method of relieving the stress on the butt welds would be to hole saw through the top of the square tube you used as the swingarm and insert the tubes for the tire carrier down into the swingarm. You could then weld around the vertical tubes where they protrude out of the swing arm and in addition plug weld from the front and back on each of the tubes and potentially from the bottom with some small holes drilled in the swing arm prior to inserting the upright bars. The leverage itself would help dissipate against the internal wall of the square tube and you would not need to worry about a butt weld holding the entire weight. In order to not redo everything at this point, you could hole saw from the bottom of the swing arm very precisely directly under the vertical bars and add in slugs the will tightly fit into the vertical tube. You could then plug weld those slugs into the uprights and the swing arm and cap it when you are finished.

Nate, great progress on the bumper thus far. I will say on thing, that deflection and bouncing will only exacerbate as you drive and then go off-road. I hate to say it, but it may be worth some time rethinking the swing gate, and removing that movement. Overall however, I love where you are heading with this, and the look is getting to be spot on. Keep up the good work brother!!!

Don’t sweat the series length, bumpers take time because you’re engineering as you go, sometimes I stop for a half hr or better to just stare and plan the next step. Bumpers and racks have to be pleasing to the eye, they take time to get just right.... plus you’re slinging cameras while working too! People always seem to be critical of creative persons, don’t let it bother you, that’s the beauty of building things for yourself, you get them exactly how YOU want them. Keep up the great work!
@brianahlers8554
@brianahlers8554 3 года назад
In order to stabilize the butt welds for the tire loop you might consider removing the gussets and building a small tray. Use the support structure of the tray to beef up and stabilize the welds. You can add the gussets in between the tubes for additional support. With weight being a consideration, use the tray to hold something light like a .50 cal ammo can that stores your tow strap. Creates space for necessities that now has ease of access. Keep up the good work. I enjoy your videos. Brian
@timd1897

Tire carrier support suggestion, rubber bumper/stopper up high for the top of the hoop to rest against when it's fully closed and/or a magnet. The rubber bumper would help reduce and swap and the magnet would stop it from swaying to the back and wouldn't add another step/latch to open

Nate, sit in the driver's seat and look at the rear view mirror. The tire should move to the left as far as possible to improve rear view. It will also make the tire swing a little shorter, it's really long and bouncy now. You could add a short swing to the right side for jerry cans or a ladder, the way that Land Cruisers are set up. Keep up the great work, your channel is the best thing on these days.
@AttwoodsGarage
@AttwoodsGarage 3 года назад
Nate, my suggestion on a different way to attach that "loop" and reinforce without needing gussets would have been to hole saw thru the crossbar and passing the loop thru the crossbar. As always, great work, still mad jealous of the garage space. :) Bob

@@DirtLifestyle Another idea Nate given where you are now is... 1-1/2" holesaw from the bottom, thru the crossbar and slide in a piece of 1-1/2" DOM and sleeve it like an axle tube. Shouldn't be too hard once you set centers and you don't have to lop everything already welded to the crossmember.
@KevinHalliburton
@KevinHalliburton 3 года назад
Good stuff Nate! It would add another step when opening but I wonder if the top of that hoop can/ should be latched to something anchored to the door, like the ladder for example. Of course, it might introduce vibration into the body and all kinds of other new problems to solve so take the suggestion with a grain of salt. As an architect, I learn as much from watching your design and problem solving process as I do from the actual fabrication. Thank you for your generosity!

The build is coming out badass!! I know what you mean, building a one of a kind swing out takes time, especially when you don't have a drawing for it. That's how it was for me, so I don't mind for the extra parts for your builds. The EMS parts are great products. I built my dual swingout on the Smittybilt M1 bumper for my FJ Cruiser. I built it to where my cooler swings out first and then my tire swings out with my door, because I wasn't sure how much stress the 35's would be on the spindle. Keep up the badass work and can't wait to see the final product 🤙🏽

Take your time and keep up the good work! Not sure if the rectangular tubing is wide enough, and it also might add a bunch of extra time, but using a hole saw to drill a hole down the top of the swing arm to drop the tubing in should do the trick for stiffening up that area once welded. Hopefully, that made sense.

Hey Nate, love the content. This build is truly amazing from the day you got it. I thought of an idea about shoring up the tire carrier. What if you cut the but welds off, drilled 2 holes for the hoops and reassessed them into the cross bar. You could weld it on the top, and also drill all the way through and weld that up and grind it smooth for the finish. Then technically it would be welded in 2 spots per bar, and also would be supported for forward and backward movement going down the trail. Just an idea! Keep up the work man! 👍🏻

To strengthen the joint, I might add a return flange that runs out the rear of the tube (side the tire is on) and down the rear of square stock. Something nice and thick to resist flexing. Maybe a rib of thinner folded steel at the narrowest angle your bender will make.

Nate, awesome fab again bud. I know you’re looking to remove the flex from the tire mount, the simple way is to come down from the swing arm with flat plate and connect to the bumper with an additional latch, this will add torsion stability under the swing arm and really reduce the flex in the carrier 👍 Hope this helps and keep up the content..

When I built my tire carrier I had the same problem. It was a TJ but I ended up using the factory tire bumpers. Just extended the hoop to add slight pressure to the carrier when closed. Since that is the configuration it is mostly used and sees the greatest vibration. Also it hid the connection and eliminates all rattling. Win win win!!!

The build is amazing- absolutely great ideas and inspiration for me. The only thing I'd mention- and it's of course far too late now- but for a future tire carrier- maybe have the tire swing the same direction as the door so you don't have to walk around such large obstacles on both sides of the vehicle when the door is opened? Just hinging the carrier itself on the opposite side would also make for a much shorter swing on the mount itself. This is easy to say after-the-fact seeing it built- but it makes me wonder how much less wobble you would get if it all were swung from the other side with the tire that high up... just a thought! Otherwise just spectacular content! As a Disco owner myself you've given me a TON of ideas. I really dig the axle upgrade-

I see why you mounted it that way...nice idea. The over-centre catch you've put on the end...someone is going to walk into that why not put a 'hasp & staple' type catch on, it'll kill several birds with one stone, the staple on the end of the carrier, less to walk into as it won't stick out. When closed a padlock through it (I'd suggest one of the square type ones) and a hole in the staple to take an 'R' clip so that you can fasten it shut without the padlock on. keep up the fabrication it's great TTFN.

Nate, really cool work. What some people do not understand is that creating has a definite process. Sometimes stuff happens that you did not consider early in the process. As a designer myself, that is why there are revisions! The difference between what you post on RU-vid and what others post is that you show the progression from idea to final product. There are loads of you tubers that only show what works. Not the 5 times that they had to make adjustments. A little long winded comment. But just wanted to say most of us viewers appreciate the reality of this kind of work.

Love the way this bumper is turned out! Looks great and I love the full kitchen functionality when it's open. One thing that I noticed is that the tire is shaking back and forth when you close the carrier gate. Might get violent rocking on trail bumps.

Honestly, Nate, we don’t mind how many it takes to get this thing right. We like what you do, hence why you have so many likes and viewers. This is, like you said, a one off, so we love seeing how you are tackling this project. If it takes two more videos, so be it. Have at it brother. Keep up the good work. We enjoy it.

Really liking how this bumper is turning out. The corner armor is a cool touch also. Looking forward to seeing how this progresses in the future and what modifications/ improvements you do to it to better suit your overlanding needs.

Love the content and 'real world's process you present. I have a couple ideas for the riser hoop (v2 of course). Instead of butt welds from the hoop to the arm, maybe drill holes in the arm for the tube to insert to and weld there, that might provide more of that twisting resistance you're looking for. That idea could even be expanded to include weld slots in the arm to make use of the tube section in the arm itself. Alternatively, I also think some longer triangular (4x1 or 4x2) braces on the outter portion of the tube to arm would help as well without much added weight. Some holes for decorating, and it could be an attractive strength addition. Keep at it!

Good day this series keeps me coming back for more just like all of your fab series. Could you cut off the hoop and rebuild it longer so you could drill all the way through the square tube for an pass through so you would have 2 layers of connection for strength, I’m just spit balling as I use to do with my family on the farm to solve problems

With the tire carrier mount it would be cool and convenient to have it lock at 90° and then the current setup at 180°.

I like the build. Love the Landy in general. I may have a tip for you. I build alot of these bumpers, mostly for for UTEs. But i live in Namibia, and gravel roads are harsh. So for the swing arm, make a stepper plate at the end of the arm, then rotate the locker latch so that it can pull the arm slightly down. This will help for some of the wobble on the spare wheel

Have you considered removing the back glass since you can't see through it anyway and replacing it with aluminum? That may provide a good mounting surface for additional support for the spare as well as open up a canvas for additional storage on the inside of the door. Thanks for the great content and keep up the awsome work!

I so look forward to Sundays to watch your new videos. While I don’t currently have the space and tools to try this kind of stuff it still inspires me to get out and work on my truck whenever I get a chance.

Nate, I use the same locking pin on the tire carrier I made for my GX470. When I built mine, I had the pin slide on a 1/4" plate topped with a thin piece of stainless for friction and a hole at the "full open" point for the pin to fall into. It works well and I don't have to do anything with it to allow it to lock open. I hope this make sense. Keep up the good work!

Just gotta say again, love the projects and the work involved! Thanks. Hoping to implement them into my offroad projects. Got a 07 Yukon, 86 Samurai and an 87 Montero that are ongoing projects and these videos give me great ideas.

I’m really enjoying this series. In regards to the butt welded tire hoop. If you were to build another one, maybe drill holes and run the upright tubes all the way through the base bar?

Really like that you show how and when you use all your tools, definitely helps me learn ways to be more efficient while building. BUT I can't imagine the amount of dirt that will collect between the aluminum and the quarter panel... I personally would use some clear silicon to clover the gaps on top and side.

my rig needs armor all over and watching this and reading the comments I'm getting the clue that I would have that same wobble problem you have. I think my solution is to have the mounting arm on the outside of the tire in order to triangulate the design. I'm looking forward to what you have come up with.

Nate, Steve Adams @316Design,. keep up the great work! The bumper and armor are coming along very nicely! Form & Function for sure! 👍🏼 Can I come over and work on just a "couple" of projects for my Excursion! 🤣😂 JK of course,. Maybe some sort of collaboration someday,. But I'm sure you get TOO many of those requests. GREAT idea on selling the blueprints! Oh and thank you for your response to Casey 17:48 Straight up calling out that BS! 👍🏼

Love this bumper series! Not overly keen on how much the wheel and tyre wobbles front to back when you shut the carrier.

Love the lower profile side protection on the bumper. Very tidy. As for the hoop tyre carrier, you could probably add strength by sleeving it with some smaller tube, that anchors into (or through) the box section swing arm. That would strengthen the join without interfering with the tailgate / bumper etc
