    I love how the tire carrier acts as "security" for the traction boards. It's little pieces of brilliance and forward thinking that separate the good from the great. It's all in the details.

    Swing arm set up makes lots of sense! If I recall correctly, the tailgates open to the passenger side so they aren't opening into traffic. Not so much a problem on the trail but something to keep an eye on if in the city 👊

    With my first child I didn't have the chance to try this but now with the second, this has been a terrific discovery! It does indeed distribute the baby weight in a better way. I do feel like there could be more weight on my shoulders but I might need to play with the straps more and see if that improves.I absolutely recommend this to every single parent out there!

    I was thinking, also, that the latch you welded on has a deeper latch, and even if the lever were to trip, the bar would have a much more difficult time coming out from behind the latch, but you're putting a lock on it, but if someone ever forgot to put the lock back on in a hurry, it still would be difficult to come out from behind the latch you welded on. You have spent a lot of time, not to mention labor and material, building this to be an overland vehicle. You've really done some great work on this, Nate!

    I just purchased the same EMS kit 2 weeks before your last video. Glad I waited to start my build! I am building off the drivers side also, barn doors on my Burb so sides don't matter that much. But I want to keep the tire out of sight as much as possible so it's going far drivers and jerry can going on the passenger side. Keeps the bulk of the weight closer to the hinge to help prevent breakage from leverage. I was also planning on going 180* out and having a table flip down.

    On a convoy security mission in Afghanistan we went through a small village in the morning where the street was clear and found they had built a three foot tall speed bump when we came back through, at 55 mph. Snapped a much larger spindle than you have there off of the lead truck who hit it at full speed and we had to figure out where to stash that spare so we could continue mission. I think your spindle is plenty strong, just mind your speed over the speed bumps. :)

    This looks pretty beefy. Gonna be sweet to see the end result. The coolest latch I've seen for a bumper tire carrier so far has to be a bumper I saw where the guy pulled out the door lock from a truck and welded it into a little frame on the bumper. You swing the carrier closed and it auto latches just like a door and pull on a knob and it opens like a door. Was pretty slick.

    Make sure the corner of each side of the bumper can carry the weight of the vehicle. With aftermarket bumpers that mount only along the center trailer hitch, the bumper is at risk of bending up when you hang the ass-end off a ledge...and you will, these are real ass-draggers.
    Incorporating outer mounting support from the corners to the frame will serve you well.

  • @danielhurst8863
    @danielhurst8863 4 роки тому +7

    Latching to the door carrier transfers your sag weight to the door hinges, certainly not as much weight as the original tire, but it may limit your door weight carry for the future. Plus, as you stated, the bumper and body shift differently, but you have more than enough off road experience to know what you are doing. I wouldn't have tried that approach for fear that long term it would cause wear, so I appreciate being able to take advantage of your skill.
    I've often wondered why tire carriers are not driver side mounted, for exactly the reasons why you are doing yours this way. It gives you the back side of the carrier as a cargo/cooking area. Because I've never encountered one, I figured there must be some downside I'm unaware of. The obvious ones don't seem all that bad. Harder to open the back door as you have two swings now, and if in a parking area, you have to be far more careful of opening the tire carrier. I really can't wait to see how you finish this because I'll change my plans to driver side swing based on your experience. Your channel gives me confidence to attempt builds I've been scared to try, as they are different than most, so thank you.

    • @wolfkin73
      @wolfkin73 4 роки тому

      The only downside i see is if your using an awning you have to walk around the tire carrier to get around it, putting you out in the weather. Or if you are in a smaller parking space walking around the tire puts you in the brush.
      I don't think its really a problem, not sure id do it, a table is movable.

    I built a fold out/hinged table on my swing out bumper 5 or 6 years ago on my old 4runner, it was great having all of the extra "counter" space. I didn't really have any issues having it permanently attached to the swingout, I'd highly suggest permanently mounting it so you don't have to deal with putting it on and off every time you hit camp.

    G'day Nate from Down-under ! As I'm the 300th comment, looks like you're on the way towards a 300Tdi conversion soon ? Think about a cantilever hinged fixing of the spare tire bracket with gas struts, so it's less painful removing and attaching the 37" rubber at ground level, instead of hoisting 100 pounds - 6 feet off the deck.

  • @garypease7414

    I know people have tons of opinions on this stuff, and here is mine. I love the stuff you integrated into the factory spare tire mount location but I would have definitely tried to create a way to make the swing out latch to the bumper itself. A reinforced plate coming off the bottom of the box tubing that’s just big enough to mount the latch and the the hook on the vertical surface of the bumper. Just my thoughts but either way amazing job all around.

    Hey Nate. Loving the build so far. Just wanted to point out one detail you might not have thought of. The fact that you mounted the swing mount latch to the chassis rather than the bumper has a potential problem. If you get bumped from the back, or back-up into something, all the force will be directed to the door and inevitably smash it. Kind of defeats the purpose of a "bumper". Just my two cents. Cheers brother!

    Hey Nate, how the latch works is through mechanical advantage (like how a visegrip works), meaning it needs to have that angle in the latch portion. The tension allows for the latch to want to stay locked. Just wanted to throw that out, throwing on that padlock would def prevent it from coming undone, for sure.

    Can I suggest 2 things experience says (spent 29 years with Discos) rear door hinges can just about cope with a standard tyre but rust on the pillar top/bottom is very common.
    Also here in the UK D2 rear chassis turns to Swiss cheese and is one of the main reasons these get scrapped and you can purchase a rear 1/2 chassis.

    haha, I would have said "polyurethanized" too. Bumper looks great, and I agree there aren't any dimple dies, it can't be Nates!!! XD Just a couple things about the tire carrier. 1) I think you can lower that tire about 6" to 8" and drop your center of gravity a little. 2) It might look really cool if you can tilt the tire forward towards the vehicle a bit. maybe by bending that round tube somewhere to give it a little angle, not anything serious, but just a little angle towards the vehicle might look cool.

    How about some gussets on the back side of the tire carrier hoop? Even going out for an inch or two at a 45 on top of the bumper would help forward/back motion. You are inspiring me to finish my tire carrier, thanks!

    Interesting positioning of maxtrax, is less common being great. The few trips I put maxtrax up high they worked a treat for your position when driving on the way to and from our destinations in mad city/holiday traffic. Was a bonus when driving point for followers when naving unfamiliar urban terrains...

    For a safety back up latch, have a spring loaded pin on the swing arm that interfaces with a hole in the bumper. That way if you are ever off camber and something happens to the latch (or someone yanks it) the swing arm won’t fly backwards. You’ll also hear the pin hitting the bumper if the latch comes loose.

    @Dirtlifestyle For the latch, you can get a 2 step safety latches on McMastercarr. Some are rated for like 2000 lbs and you have to press a small lever before you can unlatch. I used one on my buggy masters project for school to hold a 500 lb battery pack
