Bumper Tire carrier hinge?

**JDraper** · 12-01-2005, 03:55 PM

Ben (Blee1099) and I are gonna be building one this weekend. Pix to come. We're starting with a trailer spindle/bearings and building a custom tube around it (with the races pressed into the tube) to weld the rest of the swing out onto. The spindle will be supported by the bumper top and a second plate lower down to give it support.
