Thank you. I'm currently in the market for a swing out tire Carrier. I've checked out the top 3 manufacturers who make them and that was very disappointed at the price. $1400 to $2000 that's ridiculous. Good job thanks again

Mark, I agree the price for these tire carries is out of control. I wanted a factory look as much as possible when I built this. No one was really offering a tire carrier in which you didn't' have to buy a whole new bumper

[@hectormendoza1787]

Very nice brother, I like it so much that I will pay you to send me some kind of spec, material list, dimensions, etc or maybe you can build me one 😁. I’m very interested on a rear tire carrier just like that. I have a 96 LC and planning to keep it stock as much as possible. PERFECT Tire carrier for that.

Hector, Sorry for the delay, I will get you the dimensions tomorrow with some final picks

Did u have to cut the plastic cap this side of bumper. Any pics of completed project?

[@landcruisernut8654]

I am currently making a video of the completed project

Nicely done really appreciate how you did it. I have a swing out OEM tyre carrier at back but i want to use this idea for jerry cans. Can i have the measurements dimensions for reference. Thanks

[@airborne1283]

I will work on the dimensions for you. Do you have the same style jerry can that I do?

[@BabarKhan-vs4pv]

@@airborne1283 Thanks for your response. Not the same jerry can but i can say i want to mount 2 standard military type jerry cans of 20 liters each capacity, i hope you will get the idea of what i am saying

[@airborne1283]

@@BabarKhan-vs4pv I think I get what your saying. Unfortunately, my truck is now on a ship somewhere on its way to Germany, so I can't take the measurements. I would tell you that I built this entire thing out of cardboard first. Also, If your carrying two cans I would change the design some. 40L is a lot of weight.

@@airborne1283 its ok take your time and best wishes on your trip, I ll do that card board idea and yes 40L means around 40+kg weight with jerry cans
