I've been slowly modifying my Subaru Forester for off roading/overlanding as you call it in America & can see the need for a swing out tire carrier soon once I swap to all terrain tires. The cost of thee carriers commercially is well over the $1K IF you can get one that isn't super heavy so this build, your detailed design ideas/prototyping etc are giving me thoughts to do one in aircraft aluminum alloy for the major parts to keep the weight down. Your easy style of sharing information is also a joy to watch, far more entertaining than the garbage currently on TV or streaming services - this is reality worth my time, bloody well done as we say Down Under in Australia!

Awesome. Tools and mindset make all the difference

You have given me some great ideas, I am attempting to make a receiver hitch tire mount for my UTV side by side and just finished the mock up out of wood last week so I can transfer the pieces to metal now, but it is not a swing out design. I have never done anything like this before and still don't know how to weld and just bought my 1st welder. Now I might have to change my design, the only challenge I can see is that my tire mount will have to be much higher from the receiver hitch than yours and angled out since the hitch is recessed back under utv. so as not to have ground clearance issues. My plan was to get the square tubing pieces cut then have my future son in law weld them for me. I have always wanted to learn how to fabricate and now getting the tools needed so I can start. I wish I had started 40 yrs ago! Thanks so much for doing these videos, they are an inspiration for many people, including me where your design wouldn't work for my application, but gives the foundation for me to adapt it to mine. I've spent many hrs on youtube watching videos and this is my favorite one. and I look forward to seeing more of your videos

Great video. I got your plans and I was wandering what welder did you use (110V or 220V). I am new to welding and I just bought a Lincoln 140 welder that is only 110V. Would this be sufficient for the thickness of the metal for this project. Thanks

@RathaSochenda

Жыл бұрын

Thanks. TBH if you can swing a 220v welder that would be the way to go bc it will help weld thicker stuff like 1/4”. 140v may work but you may have to preheat the material to get penetration. Hopefully that helps answer your question
