Tire swing and trail basket on existing WARN bumper

Joined: 30 Oct 2007 Posts: 11

OK! I finally got started.
I decided to make the tire swing to fit on the WARN bumper I already have.

I also used the existing over-sized tire carrier I had purchased when I upgraded to 33's

Almost done now, finished welding up all the pieces including the trail basket,just need time for grinding and misc finish work

Man that's awesome work! Will that basket hold the jerry cans (if you have any) or will you make mounts ont he side for that?

Can't wait to see the finished product!

Stay posted, I'll be fabbing up soe tube fenders in the next couple weeks.

I'll post some finished pictures soon as I take them
The tire swing and the trail basket are done with the exception of some small things such as wiring the back-up light and reattaching the latch that will prevent it from closing when I have the rear door open.

The trail basket is designed to hold two "Blitz" style jerry cans on the outsides of the basket, they hook on the bottom lip of the Jerry can and are held in place with two ratchet straps

I want to carry one gas can and one water can
I own one Blitz style gas can but will need to buy a new can to carry water

WOW! Thats some great work!

Looks like you cut the rubber pad on the rear door to prevent the rattle?

I like it man!

What's next on the project list?

Thanks

Yes I removed 3 of the four rubber bumpers that originally stabilized the spare tire, cut the remaining one down to ft and turned it sideways.

Next....

Front bumper
Belly-up T-case skid
Engine skid
Gas tank Skid (may just buy this as I don't have any metal bending tools)
