Top piece of the frame cover—-just a bumper filller, or structural/helping support the weight by resting on top of the frame end? I know the bolts are doing most of the work, just curious...

Structural for support.
At least another added on the hinge side.
For when it opens and hits the stop.
And add one On the opposite side to balance it out.

Well done!

Well done!

Thank You! It’s held up nicely.
No noise or vibrations. I May update the clamp/catch.

Great work! It's tempting to do something like this to replace the Wilco.

It’s held up well. I did buy a 4xinnovations latch to add on like I should have done from the start.

Got pictures? I'm seriously considering cutting up my Wilco or just fabbing one like yours. If I do, I think I will offset the tire to the driver's side for rear vision reasons, and then have a dual Jerry can holder on the passenger side.

I wonder if this could be done in a dual swing-out style . . .

Much better than the Wilco design, me likey. Any thought to offering a "kit"? Or design plans with materials list?

Yes, a kit would be cool. Love this innovative approach.:clap2:
