After talking to a few others they have said that the switches can handle 20A but don’t require 20A because they are just lighting the little LED indicator. If I’m running something that has more than 20A I’ll use a relay too

Lately I’ve been working on the tire carrier but the other day decided to improve me electronics/accessory wiring so I pulled all the wires that I ran initially and built a switch plate for the little useless cubby. The plate is just aluminum and I got the 12 switches on eBay. They are going to...

I can’t wait to get it done. On trips I’ll mount the jack and Jerry cans to it and I’m also going to fab up a fold down table. I’m basically just helping design it. My friend is the fabricator. I’ve actually never welded before but I’ll be learning soon. He’s very good.

Nice swing out carrier. Currently building one almost the same exact way for my grand Cherokee. This is what I have done so far

I’m looking to get a welder when I move out of the apartment. I can’t wait to do stuff like this on my own. It’s cool to see how everything takes shape.

Not sure. It’s about 4 feet of 2x4x3/16 and 4 feet of 2x2 3/16”. Itsnot too heavy. Probably after everything somewhere around 100 pounds for all of the steel. Those are a friends welds lol. I’ve never learned how to yet. He’s going to teach me after this project

Yeah the plan for the tire to be offset the the right and following the lines of the window. The left side will have the jerry can rack.
Today we fabbed up some brackets to mount up the isolator and latch and burned in everything. We also drilled the holes to mount the bumper carrier to the...
Today we fabbed up some brackets to mount up the isolator and latch and burned in everything. We also drilled the holes to mount the bumper carrier to the hitch. This allows the whole thing to be removable in 1,2 or 3 pieces. The swing arm, 2x4 and the hitch are all independent but tied...
Update on the tire carrier. Burned in mostly everything. Test fit everything and the 2x4 clears. The spindle is welded in and the swing out arm follows the same lines as the 2x4.

What kind of Grand Cherokee is that? I’m looking at the wk2 and wondering how you like it and how the 4x4 system works and how it tows. Sorry for off topic

I enjoy it. Plenty of power and torque. I’ve pulled trailers and it’s not bad. I’m considering a heavy duty transmission oil cooler because It gets hot occasionally. The engine does burn some oil and leak some via the valve gaskets so check those when buying. It’s a greatly capable vehicle with...
