Alabama thread!

Gotta build stuff for these other guys first. At least the local ones that called dibs before you. Lol. I should be able to build one for your fairly quick. Any preference on type of material used? Square tube vs round tube?

 

Whatever is lighter honestly. I typically see square for the base of the swingout where it pivots on the bumper and the vertical piece that the tire mount is on. The remainder is typically round from what I see.

 

Gotcha. Well working with square is easiest for me at the moment until I buy my tube bender. But I'll build whatever you want. Just takes time.

Different route

 

Yep. Better buy my tube bender. Lol. Looks simple enough though. What sort of pivot point and locking mechanism you looking at using? That might be something I'll let you provide since there's so many variations on it.

 

I'm guessing you're adding on to a non-swingout bumper?

 

Ill have to look into that. Just edited the post with a square version. I really don't care if you use square if it is not any heavier than round

 

correct

 

I could definitely build the one using rectangular tube now with zero issues. Looks to be 1x3 rectangular tube, just need to decide on wall thickness. 14 gauge would probably be more than enough if I had to take a guess. May go for 11 gauge, idk. have to see the weight difference.

 

I want to say those are thicker than 1x, I believe they make them from 2x.

 

Hmmm. I'll do some 3D modeling and see what works best. 2x would at least look better IMO.

 

This one looks good with 90% square. Simple design as well

 

That's 2x2.

So the only thing that I missed today is that @stronghammer , @pat's taco , and @medic2230 -> starting shit in a different thread thats now locked and @Jerneyman building all of us new rear swingout bumpers . Awesome!, always good to get in here and see the Bama boys doing their thing. I'm just dissapointed that @yota243 didn't plug his Youtube channel before they locked that thread.

 

Bro bro they told me not to plug my YouTube channel in non pertinent threads signed the mods

 

Front diff in and on the road again.

 

Are we considered a pertinent thread?

 

That looks just like mine
