Universal Spare Tire Carrier DIY Build Kit - Part 3

[@frankevans287]

If you want to get rid of slop in both directions on the hitch mount, cut your "anti wobble" 45 on the diamond rather than on the square of the tube, if that makes sense to you, that way when you tighten it up it will push up and to the side, taking car of both directional wobbles at the same time. Nice build

[@gregburke8163]

👍👍 I've checked out several swing out build videos on U Tube and this one is the best. I really appreciate your straight forward common sense approach to fabrication and careful explanations.

[@RathaSochenda]

Glad you enjoyed it

I need one for gmc suburban 1999, what is the price?

I just finished with the build kit, I just want to say great job bud ,you did a great job designing this kit and your build video's walked me through the entire build. Thanks it was well worth the money. Dec 12 2023 730 pm

That’s so awesome to hear. I really appreciate you commenting here. If you can please shoot me some pictures of your build to [e-mail]. I’d love to see the final outcome on your rig.🤘🏾

I bought the kit, slightly modified it for winters in Canada. I am very impressed with the quality of this product and the build videos. Thanks very much!

[@RathaSochenda]

Appreciate it! 🙏🏽🦾

[@pauljackson2844]

Excellent design and ideas for the home builder. Well done.

[@DaGuz24]

Great videos, awesome kit! now lets get one of these babies mocked up for a UTV (preferably Polaris General) so I can get mine on order!!!

[@danielstover3029]

Ratha,. Great video series! You have designed a very nice tire carrier and kit. Thanks for sharing! 😁👍👍👍👍👍

[@pjs2008uk]

Awesome....I have never welded, but I am going to have a go, thanks.

[@RathaSochenda]

Nice!

[@lowellcrabb151]

Very well thought out. I'm just finishing up building a CO rear bumper with a swing out. I wish I'd watched this first. I didn't know anti spatter existed. I had drug my rear bumper a few too many times and wanted to have a more robust bumper on my 5th gen 4Runner.

[@RathaSochenda]

Thanks

[@davesmith8936]

Nice design. Another option for the pin lock would be to NOT have the slot. That way when you unlock and start swinging it the pin would ride on the metal piece until the carrier is fully open and then the pin would drop into the lock open hole. Same thing when closing it. Just a thought.

[@RathaSochenda]

Good idea!

[@fryscountrylifechannel4437]

That’s the way mine came, and I’m happy about it.

[@wolfgangsixl9283]

Very nicely done, Ratha! Great video, great explanation, and I like how you show options to finetune the setup based on personal preferences!

[@RathaSochenda]

Thanks Wolfgang for following the series!

[@ScottAcy]

Wow! Killer job! Two things that stand out to me that might be improvable without too much effort. The bolt for the anti wobble accessible from the front so we don't need to go under the truck and the providing a latch that has a tethered pin to lock it in so it can't pop open on it's own. Maybe a better handle already on it as well? I'll contact you this week with a couple questions then I'll get the kit from you. Thanks again for the excellent video series!

[@RathaSochenda]

Good ideas

[@ScottAcy]

@@RathaSochenda I'm going to do this in the beginning of Oct. Have you thought about my upgrades?

[@alexbaek9838]

Great stuff as always! Curious if you have a tongue/tow rating on your aux hitch receiver? It looks sturdy enough to say, tow a car trailer and a miata (so maybe 3.5k lbs max?) but would like your opinion. EDIT1: I just read the disclaimer on your website regarding unable to give a rating, am wondering if you can still give an expert opinion still, thank you!

[@armedappalachian]

Ideas for building this without the auxiliary hitch? That area looks a little busy and i wouldn't need to use it. I have a truck and plan to add an extra offset hitch to the passenger side about 8-10" off center, so I can still use the main hitch to tow heavier trailers while having the spare. Added bonus of using shorter arms for the swing portion than if I went with the center mounted hotch location.

[@roxifbabyyy]

Love your videos. Ones of these days I’ll be able to make one 😉

[@RathaSochenda]

😍

[@markjackson8833]

Very Impressive

[@luismujica7917]

Awesome, I would love to for you to sale me the Carrier already welded.

[@dedetabri4674]

excellent modèle très beaux travail

[@RathaSochenda]

Thank you

[@PrepaidKarma]

I want to build my own but I have no experience with welding. Do you think this is learnable while assembling your kit? Either way, great video!!!

[@RathaSochenda]

I think so. Just take your time and practice on scrap pieces in the meantime. I learn from KZbin, asking others for tips, and just practice. You got this!

[@KR-qx2qw]

Great design and excellent video's. What mig technique are you using?

[@RathaSochenda]

Depends but here in this video I think push front and back I think that’s what you call it. And cursive Es

[@urkarrubamtbrider1519]

Love it! Do you guys sell it fully build?

[@RathaSochenda]

Kits only thanks

[@RubiKongjk]

Wish I found you before I bought my rear bumper tire carrier. Can this carry 37s?

[@RathaSochenda]

I guess you can say it can bc I just seen one guy put this kit together to fit his 37s instagram.com/reel/C3DLZ9orAlL/?igsh=MXJvdTk4MjF1OG8ydw==

[@nickgibb4687]

test drive? can the kit be built for a swing open on driverside? for lets say a ford e350

[@RathaSochenda]

Yes that will work

[@willywonka56789]

Hello! I am very interested in "your" tire carrier for my 2017 Chevy Silverado 1500 over lander. All it done except adding the larger tires and as you know the spare tire area will not allow for larger tire. Im an electrician by trade so i don't weld. Would you build one for my truck and if so could you shoot me a price and required info on truck if needed? Thx

[@RathaSochenda]

Unfortunately I just offer theses as kits. What others have done is get the kit and bring to shop or a family friend to get it welded

[@taylorsutherland2595]

Do you have a rough idea of the total weight? Great work!

[@RathaSochenda]

I think like 60-70lbs

[@taylorsutherland2595]

@@RathaSochenda Think aluminum would be strong enough? I don't think my hitch can carry a whole lot of weight and the swing arm+wheel+whatever racks adds up quick

[@RathaSochenda]

No clue

[@nickgibb4687]

@@taylorsutherland2595 you have a alum hitch?

[@taylorsutherland2595]

@nickgibb4687 no, making the swing arm out of aluminum

Wall thickness looks a bit thin for my liking.

Разве не лучше было открывать кронштейн влево чтобы не мешать двери, которая открывается вправо?

Hey would you build one of these for me for a Subaru?

Unfortunately I don’t build these in house but I please reach out to me via my website and I can help point you on the right direction
