Dillithium Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 That swing away tire carrier looks amazing. Did you use an existing kit or make it from scratch? I'm especially impressed with the bearing-like pivot point, with the grease zerks. *edit, wait, it kinda looks like the ballhead of a motorcyle frame. Is it? Because that is just genius.

jbain Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Where I wheel there is a lot of brush and low hanging tree branches and deadfalls. Likely that bar wouldn't last a day before I knocked it off... Originally I had planned on an EXO and I was going to hang a light bar under the bar that would have ran between the A pillar bars above the window. However I had to scrap the idea when I decided to go with an interior cage instead. Your MJ is really looking sweet.... how much lift are you running?

jbain Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Well I would never have guessed that.... my assumption was they were very fragile and meant more for running the desert at night than squeezing under fallen trees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mccomanche Posted November 5, 2014 Author Share Posted November 5, 2014 how much lift is a good question lol its a modified rustys 8" with acos on the front and 2" block in the back with custom leafs and for the light bars they are pretty strong and if you pay the big $$$ for a rigid they have a life time warranty and the mounts i got the light bar sits pretty low and narrower then i thought for a 50" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
