Also, is it me or are the two metal plates at the bottom floor of that rack in the picutre not symetically placed in the floor? It looks like the left plate is closer to the side than the right plate. hmmm, go figure...

It aint you, evldave...I noticed that too.

You bring up good point on the strength of the rear door, maybe I'll consider an additional mounting point at one of the spare tire lugs...but the whole idea was to make it so the tire comes off easy for any flats, without other tools. I can see if I make it too big & strong, it'll be heavy & hang hard on the door. And the way I weld stuff up, it won't be light.

I could maybe figure a way so it sits on the spare tire, but the tire will still come off & on without any trouble...

Not too hard to make, nice & sturdy, just what I needed! If you want something done right, do it yourself.

Just in case you didn't already have enough trouble seeing out the back window, you too can be driving blind.

I think they look great by the way, but...

Had to remove that useless rear wiper to get it to fit, you can't see out the back window anyway! I've always got my back stuffed full on roadtrips, or a trailer on, I'm used to backing up blindly.

The things people do to avoid an "open container" violation. Just kidding.

Cool. Looks functional.

OK, so a little more info buddy. I like the downpiece that mounts to the back of the tire, how did you mount the door side of the rack. Looks like 3/4" steel, what thickness (I'm guessing 0.060 is thick enough). DETAILS DETAILS and PICTURES!!

As usual Cris... "YOU ROCK" If I'd just get of my lazy ass I'd weld me one up...

Dave, I'll get close-ups uploaded soon for you. Yes, it was 3/4 square stock, thick-wall (1/8, I think). Two angled pieces at door mount to the two top bolts on the spare mount, then the rear piece forms the tripod to keep it sturdy. I flattened off a lugnut to hold the bar well at the spare tire, and a wingnut at top to make it removeable without any special tools.

Here's the door mount...3/4 steel square tube, tabs welded to the ends & drilled to fit. Top two bolts are exactly 8" apart, but the right-hand bolt sits 3/8" higher than the left one does...go figure, what happened to symmetry?
