Swing out tire carrier almost done!
I decided to do a tire carrier off my stock tow package. Bolt on! Pretty sweet! Little minor reinforcement to do so I could actually stand on to open but solid right now for all intents and purposes!

Very nice man.

I like the slim look of it.

Any plans on putting some more stuff on the drivers side?

Yup! Going to reinforce a little first. Thinking modular, obviously need to mount my hilift but ice chest, BBQ grill, gas/water cans etc. things to suit different trips. And thx btw! I think it turned out pretty good.

Looks good. How'd you bolt it to the tow package?

Bought grade 8 bolts that are longer than the original. 3 on each side.

Looks like you're in AZ... I'm sure it can be worked out.

whoa.

I just recently purchased my first 3rd gen - 98 Anthro (Hot Brown) LTD,
put a Rola rack on, and was currently sketching a swingout that
didn't require full bumper replacement. Looks like you had the same idea...

Really like the concept and look forward to a longer-term review.
Good work!

eta: any details on what spindle/pivot was used?
