1. Try Kaiser Willys here

2. I didn't find any for under $300 I liked, so I built my own....my father is a heavy equipment mechanic, and I think like him, so mine is overkill, but hey, out of pocket was under $100! If you would like some pics, let me know. Mine is on a '74 CJ5.

 

Thanks a million - pics would be great. I was pretty sure I'd end up having to fab one, but didn't have any clue where to start.

 

Here is a pic where you can see most of the apparatus....it's 2x4 square tubing for both the bumper and the swing arm. The upright for the tire is 2x2. Pivot pins are 1" diameter. I relocated my tail lights to the bumper, and added a 2" reciever hitch as well. The spare I'm running is actually a 33" fullsize spare--this was for the time being when I took the pics. Just tonight added a spare tire carrier.....also, these are old pics....the jeep is rust free and painted these days.

 

Another pic, this from another angle. The carrier will swing either way. Just depends which pin you pull. Also built a different license plate holder....and "upgraded" to a Willy's tailgate!

 

Here is a close up of the end of the swing out section. 3/8" T-1...definitely overkill, but hey, it was laying around...*grin* Welded washers top and bottom for extra bearing surface and to raise the pins off the carrier itself. I'll try to get a pic of the carrier with gascan mounting on it tommorow with the digital camera and post it too.

 

That's perfect!! Don't mind if I pilfer and slightly modify your design, do you?

 

Welcome and glad to have you on board. Make your own.(I did mine too)
And there are no stupid questions here............unless I don't know the answer to it.

 

Pilfer away! Only one thing....you gotta post some pics when you are done! *grin* Again, my set up is WAY overbuilt for what I really need....but that's just the way I like things. It IS kinda heavy, but I have add-a-leafs front and rear, and a V-8, so it isn't a problem. Seriously, post some pics when you get it put together!

Have fun with it!

 

Will do!! I'll be scrounging some steel tomorrow and hopefully start fabbing this weekend
