Paps Build

I can't take the credit for that, CBI built my carrier so it goes to them!

I'll take it off later & post a pic of it

 

Thanks. I have seen that before and was wondering why. I would have thought the turn down with poly insert would have been enough to center the spare. Thanks for the tip! Yes, a pic would be good.

 

Just go get a welder and start! Do it!

Lol

 

all i need is a pipe bender and i have everything else to make you whatever you want

 

I have a bender, fish mouth jig, and welder. all good for now. Just need more time on the welder.

 

Your neighbors probably thought you were crazy during the swap with 2 taco's in the driveway. Great build, dont know why you said wont be much of one compared to others. Looks great man good job

 

Hey bro looking good!!!!! Beers soon... I should be slowing down with work in February so maybe a NJ trip is in store

 

Haha. My neighbor did come over and ask "what the hell are you doing" thought I stole one of the trucks. The build did start off as nothing then led to something.

 

yo mang! Lets get it going. Maybe hit stag hill then a round or two of brew!

 

hey man where in jersey are you?

I'm from howell (monmouth county)

 

Yo! I am from Boonton, Morris County. You get out wheeling at all? Couple guys are wheeling sunday down in the Pines.

 

Getting there! Fish mouthed al the tube ends to size, made the bushing carriers and tacked some of the pieces together.

 

nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

lookin good. you going to put some grease zerks in for the bushings?

 

Thanx dudes! I thought about zerk fittings for it but then thought I would be rotating them enough to justify. Then again, would be super easy to put in so might as well do it.

 

with how easy it is, you might as well. don't want one siezing up and tearing a bushing when you go to rotate it from one position tothe other.

edit: how are you liking the new welder by the way?

 

I might as well.

I am getting a feel for it. The toughest part is welding those fish mouths. Been practicing on them a bunch. The first few I didn't have the gas coming through the tip... I then realized the hose wasn't plugged in all the way at the box. lol Im a dumbass.

 

haha, live and learn.

the points to the notches can be a little tricky sometimes since you're dealing with less material there. just gotta ease off the bedal a little more

 

Thanks for the tip colin. I have a couple good ones going on. Nevous to burn my nicely fit tubes though.

 

Here are some welds I made on the tire carrier. Of course I am showing my better ones. The three pipe y connect came out a little funky. I should have done that one last as it was the hardest to do.
