Nice to see people check out my thread
Anyways the tire carrier is done.
Welded a piece of metal across to mount the tire too.
Still not the best welder.
Made studs out of one piece of 1/2" all-thread.
Welded the studs to the cross bar.....perfect fit!
yes...thats a gate latch!!
Finished product. Dont mind whats under my bed lol
Side shot.
My dad said I should patent this idea!
Anyways hope you all like it.

Haha thanks man! Yeah I wasnt sure what to use....but it felt right. Works great! I am very pleased with the result.
I love that bronco. Dads had it since before I was a thought. Its been through alot. Been rolled a few times. Done the rubicon 3 times. Had a tree fall on it. Its been through hell but shes a part of the family.
But as for the rack I knew I needed something fabbed up and different. The fact that its hinged sets it off from others I think.

I went to go pick them up yesterday from my vuddies house but it was too dang hot lol Im excited though to get it all done. Now I can work on the yota and not have to worry about being nagged at.....but she will be missed :/

Thanks man..yeah ill be ok. Just keep my head clear.
The springs are 57" long. Not sure how wide off the top of my head. I believe they are 3 leaves with an overload. For mounting I move the hanger 11" forward just like chevies and I can use my stock shackle hanger but I wont have the best shackle angle.
Fords give a better ride...flex better and a better depature angle. There is a thread on here. Tittled F150 vs. Chevy springs.
Im curious to see how its going to perform. Also since im doing a 4" bracket lift I want it to sit level. Chevies offer about 3" of lift where F150s offer 4-5". So I should sit pretty close to level.

Just ordered a new tailgate latch and driver side window roller upper thingy. Tired of my window not rolling up and having to use a knife to open the tailgate. Ordered them from carpartswhole.com all together I paid 43 bucks. Not too bad.
