He's five now and has slowed just a wee bit, but not much.

Re: A proper build up thread......JK
I just finished my tire carrier this weekend. It took a while because I've been really busy with work, traveling, and vacation. Here she is, via some crappy camera phone pics.
It turned out pretty well. I used 3/16" tubing all around. 2x3 for the swing arm, and the rest is 2x2. I used a beefy 1-3/8" hinge from Nates4x4 and a McMaster locking latch. It is mounted on my Shrockworks bumper. I also put on a couple of stops on the rear door to prevent vibration/movement. It's pretty solid and doesn't move a bit when I'm driving around. I think it weighs about 70lbs, but that is just a guess. I psyched!

I thought the same thing after I painted it. 
Didn't seem to look like that before paint. I had my buddy who fabs for a living inspect all the welds and he said I was good to go. I had to fix two of them.

It's not closed because it's freshly painted and was not yet dry when I took the pics. The latch is a McMaster locking latch. It was pretty expensive, around $41.00
