made from 2" x 4" x 3/16" wall rectangular tubing, 1.75" x .120 DOM and some 1.5" x .120" and 1.25" x .120" DOM for supports on the swing part. It uses a trailer spindle I got from A to Z fabrication, clevis mounts go all the way through and welded both sided, spindle is mounted using a 2"x2"x .250" square tube all the way through, welded both sides and plated in to blend it a bit better. It uses the stock 4-mounts in the sheetmetal, and also welded to the stock hitch in 5 places with the same 2" x 2" x .250" square tubing(can fill those voids in with some dimple die plates hehe). It has a de-staco clamp to hold it shut but no secondary safety or anything, may be a good idea. I can include the shackles/d-rings for another $20, tow ball/mount not included.
The last 3 pics in the album were taken today, and the spare is a 35" for reference. I rarely used the actual swing with my spare so spindle has low hours.
Here is the catch, it may be a pita to get off and back on, definitely not impossible but may need a bit of trimming here and there. The best thing would be to come and take it off here one saturday but I may be able to get a buddy to take it off for some beer$$, just too busy right now to monkey with it. I am doing a rear shock hoop/spare mount in the trunk so no need for this bumper.
$200 OBO, basically the cost of the materials.
