Part 1 - How to Build a DIY Rear Tire Carrier (Hitch Mounted) - Anti-Wobble

[@charlesshanefelter233]

the anti-wobble device is a game changer

[@Esquilax90]

I think it’s great that you’re sharing this info with DIYers when you could easily keep it to yourself and sell the product instead. The video also really spoke to me because you described all the options you considered for carrying your full size spare tire; it’s an issue I’m currently dealing with as well. Keep up the good work!

[@edwinperalta8977]

@@RathaSochendahow are you man I would like to buy one if you make me one for my Honda pilot

[@RathaSochenda]

@@edwinperalta8977 Unfortunately I just offer kits. I just don’t have the logistics or space to handle full on welded tire carriers. (maybe one day when I get a a dedicated bigger shop) One other option you may want to consider would be to get the kit and ask local fabricators to weld this up. It should cost somewhere $300-$500 in labor. Others that have purchase the kit and don’t have the tools have gone that this path.

[@Mark-ks9jj]

Mate I love how you prototyped this build using the wooden model with adjustments, well done. Your easy skill in explaining the process was both informative & entertaining to watch. It also (along with the other parts to this video) show me why the commercial versions of this style of tire carrier are all over $1K, given the fabrication involved, although I suspect your version is way better thought through & built.

[@RathaSochenda]

I know right. Wobble = Suck. Glad this video helped stay tuned for the next one!

[@davidhines4716]

After thinking about it a few minutes, I’m really liking this design, can’t wait for you to post the rest! A few suggestions: 1. Patent this use. 2. Reverse the weld from welded stud, to welded nut, then carry the bolt all the way through like the bike did. That way it can be tightened, or removed from the opposite side (exterior of the car vs underneath). 3. Cut the bolt head off and weld on a locking lug nut head. This will lock your unit on as well.

Really nice calm style to the build. Subscribed. If the car hitch was closed and you could not access the anti wobble bolt from that end, how would you design it? My car has a closed end hitch.

[@RathaSochenda]

I would cut open the close end.

[@jamesmac7040]

@RathaSochenda can't modify that tow bar legally in Australia without engineering (insurance wont pay out). Might try and fuse the bolt on the closed end and run the nyloc on the open end from the back of the car

[@NickWhite630]

Interesting idea with the wobble system. Did you consider at all using a longer bolt out the front so that it could be tightened without going under the truck?

[@RathaSochenda]

Thanks I sort did… the issue is the safety pin gets in the way when you go through the front. And also I’m not a big fan on running a long extension through the receiver and trying to get the proper bolt torque (100ftlbs. Also longer bolt means stretch in the bolt make it weaker unless you compensate with a larger OD bolt. The advantage of fastening it from the back is that as you tighten the nut it removes also the slack of the safety pin which makes everything even tighter. Hope that makes sense 🤙🏾

[@NickWhite630]

@@RathaSochenda Ahhhh good call, I wasn't even thinking of the safety pin. I have just had trucks where the back of the receiver is capped which is what made me think of it.

[@RathaSochenda]

@@NickWhite630 oh never thought about rigs that had a capped hitch. Good to know.

I love that anti-wobble wedge but wouldn't it be easier to just drill a hole on the bottom of the receiver and put a bolt in it. I haven't tried it yet but I'm thinking it would work. I guess it's time to put it to the test

[@RathaSochenda]

This is for people that don’t want to drill there factory recievers

[@WeldersforJesus]

@RathaSochenda I was actually going to go with the wedge afterall because I just really like that idea better but I'm making this swing away hitch for my friend and his truck doesn't allow it he has a tire on there that won't come off so I just got one of those anti-rattle hitch plates. But for my own personal one that I make I think I definitely will use that wedge. Also I think the way you presented everything was just really awesome.
