5523Pathfinder Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 Ok, so its been on my mind for a while. I need to mount both soon and I need ideas. I was wondering how everyone else did it. Please let me know how you did yours, and post a pic if you could. Options are good! Thanks guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nige Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 (edited) Bender had a homemade jerry can holder which was welded to the back of the carrier to the right of the spare. He also welded a couple tabs with threaded rod on top of the carrier to hold the jack horzontally. I re-drilled spare tire mount bolts a bit higher up on the carrier in hopes of giving me more departure angle. I haven't hit it on anything yet so i think we're good. I'll get you some pictures of it so you can see what i'm talking about. Edited September 22, 2010 by nige Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol I did the exact same thing with drilling the holes to move the tire up, but am going to have a dude cnc cut a new bolt on part to raise it up more.... I will eventually be making 1x2x1/4" strips (two of them) welding them to the top of my tire carrier, and then put two 1/2" bolts through them welding the bolt head to the bracket....thats where i'll put the highlift.

5523Pathfinder Posted September 21, 2010 Author Share Posted September 21, 2010 Yeah, pics would be helpful. I placed the holder up to the carrier, but, with a 33 sitting back there, it blocks the right taillamp. Does anyone reading this thread remember someone who fitted the jack under the back seats?

Pezzy Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 LOL!! I placed the holder up to the carrier, but, with a 33 sitting back there, it blocks the right taillamp. Is that placing it flatwise against the carrier? What if you attached it by the narrow side? (Like Simon had on Atari) Does anyone reading this thread remember someone who fitted the jack under the back seats? Unless there was another poster, it was AlexRex in his R50.

5523Pathfinder Posted September 21, 2010 Author Share Posted September 21, 2010 Thanks all for posting the pics. Pezzy, I will try and turn the can holder and try and figure a way to mount it(I will take some pics tonight and post em). I like both ways actually. Bonez, how is the jack attached to the carrier itself? (I may find out at the Jim run?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilverPath Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 (edited) I believe it was Alexrex who stashed his under his back seat. Edited September 21, 2010 by SilverPath Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5523Pathfinder Posted September 21, 2010 Author Share Posted September 21, 2010 Yep, I went and looked at his member page, but the pictures he posted are gone(Photobucket-Deleted or Moved). He did have a description though. I may tinker with this idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldSlowReliable Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 How much did it cost to powdercoat your tire carrier? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonez, how is the jack attached to the carrier itself? (I may find out at the Jim run?) I welded 2 bolts 2 the carrier and put nits on them that take a 19 mm wrench witch there are always 2 spares of in the pathfinder sence it is used all over the place. Yes you will see it at the mister jim run allot like nige posted except i don't have the cool wing nuts. I just used what I had 4 free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
