I have the Rugged Ridge tire carrier and wanted to add more space for gear. Checked around for different racks to mount on my swing away tire carrier. All the racks that I found were big $$$$$. I found a inexpensive alternative. I found this rack at the local wally world. It shows it mounting on a 4 wheeler or on a car with a 2" receiver hitch. It cost around $30.

Got some 1 1/2" steel tube to make a mounting point, welded it up & painted the rack and tubing with Dupli bedliner. I only have around $40 invested.

What you guys think?

 

nice work i made one similar but went with a different setup. mounted the 3rd brake light to the rack too looked great. nice work though and very in expensive to make

 

that is Great

 

nice job ! i like it .

 

Way to think outside the wallet! DIY rules!

 

You cheap bsatard. It looks GREAT.

 

Wow! That's a good one!

 

I bought the same rack from Wally World but I mounted it over the cargo area.

 

Ah, the things you can do with a welder. Nice work.

 

That rack isn't on their website.... I might have to check the local Wally World, see if it is a store-only item.
