While everyone else was out having fun I managed to finish my swingout tire carrier so now I don't have to carry my spare inside the jeep anymore :D

Looks good Steve.

Now the prototype is built and the bugs are worked out , When are you going into full production. What is the price and delivery? Can I get mine powdercoated red to match my jeep. :?:

Thanks

After all the nights cutting, test fitting, tack welding ,taking it apart , cutting some more ,grinding , rewelding to finally getting it finished
If I was getting paid for my time I think the final price tag for the prototype would be close to 5 grand :shock:

So I'll build u one for (in my best Dr Evil voice) one million dollers

and I'll powder coat it any color u want and for that price I'll even install it free with gold plated bolts Builder reserve's the right to subsitute gold colered grade 8 bolts for gold plated :wink:  :lol:
