My friend at Eagle Manufacturing made a really nice carrier for me. Says he feels sorryfor me so he built me this. 1 1/2" inch tubing because that's what we had.

I like it. Does the tire affect your vision much?
It's not how fast you go. It's how quick you get there. Lifted TBSS Build

It blocks some in the middle up close, but I can see in the blind spots. Thanks.

That's awesome lol. It doesn't look like the tire would stick up any worse than our FJ, which has about 1/3 of the rear window blocked off. Does it swing well fully loaded? What did you use for a pivot?

The swing is very smooth. I bought a spindle, and bearing kit from EBay, advertised as made in America. Kit had Chinese bearings, but it was nice. Hope I never have to get the cover off because of welding I had to pound that sucker on
