This unit lets the DIY fabricator have a closure system just like the professionals use that creates a rattle-free tire carrier. Included is a t-handle bolt that threads into the CNC machined threaded block and the DOM tube spacer that welds through a 2" tire carrier to make the closure system complete. Perfect for making your own Jeep tire carrier. Assembly and welding required.

This kit will come as four(4) pieces:

The solid bar stock will be need to be welded to the socket-head bolt to form the T-handle. We usually weld this 1/4" off-center so that if it loosens while driving the heavy end will rotate to the bottom and not fully un-thread.

The 1"OD tubing will fit through 2" wide tire carrier tubing. We cut this piece a little long so that it can be ground flush after welding. We usually bevel the carrier tubing to get good penetration.

The "tapped tombstone" will be welded to the bumper assembly and fitted so that the T-handle can slide through the carrier sleeve and threaded easily.

Make sure to have a rest block (UHMW plastic works great) close to the T-handle end of the carrier to take the load off the hinge and to ensure alignment with the threaded "tapped tombstone". You want to have just a little bit of pre-load on the rest block when you swing the carrier into the closed position.
