i like it! looks clean. just picked up a wj myself. might do this instead of buying a whole bummer! plus i miss weling
Great write up on that tire carrier. I'm torn between the swing-out style and the HK Offroad Kratos. I guess since I have no money I have plenty of time to think about it, eh?
Nice Jeep! I have a 2002 Overland that is the same color. I just installed the Fat Bob's lift that is supposed to be 2.5" front and 2" rear. The rear of my Jeep sits about 2" higher than the front, which is exactly what I didn't want. I notice that yours sits very level. Did you do anything to your Jeep to get it level like that?

Very cool. I especially like how easy you suggest welding is as it's a skill I don't currently have but one I'm hoping to learn. It's seeming to become harder and harder for us WJ owners to find more than 2 or 3 options for bumpers these days 
Nice setup. Thanks for sharing. Food for thought. How have the welds of your spindle hinge support held up over the last couple of years?
Thanks for the inspiration to get started on mine roamingtimber. Got finished up last night.
It’s a little different but was very fun to design and build

Bringing an old thread up to hopefully get pictures of your swing out tire carrier. The pics in this thread unfortunately have the photo bucket signature going across all of them and difficult to get a idea of how you built it. From the write up and how you kept the stock bumper cover on I’m excited to hopefully duplicate your creation

How did everything work out with your suspension? Any death wobble issues to sort out after the lift? I just installed 3.5" lift with OME HD springs and 2" coil spacers. I took it in to get aligned and had a dw occur at 63mph. Also a lot of noise from my front driveshaft, after looking it over the reppza ball joint boot at the t case end is shot...the axle end CV joint looked good. I believe I'm going to need to order the double cardon kit from tom woods driveshafts and convert the front shaft to correct the angle issues.
