Earth1 Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 If anyone feels so inclined, bored or otherwise helpful, I'm thinking about using a Pathy tire carrier on another project. I need to find the measurements of: 1. hinge to hinge; bottom of top mount -to- top of bottom mount (where the tail lights are) 2. bottom of upper tube to the highest point of the latch plate 3. tube diameter 4. body corner (hinge side) to each mounting bolt on the strike plate thanks in advance!

nunya Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Nobody sets you up by tomorow, I'll try to remember to get you some measurements off mine (know you said you are hoping for r50 though in that other thread) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earth1 Posted November 17, 2011 Author Share Posted November 17, 2011 (edited) Thanks... I'm looking at both. I think the r5o looks newer and I like that it maybe latches lower, but the mounts might be too close together to clear the lights on my Toyota. The wd21 carrier was my original plan, it matches the era of the truck better and is a little bigger for mounting crap to. I know mine was stout as hell too.

Precise1 Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 If it isn't raining when I get home early today I'll set you up. I have one mounted on my WD21 and another sitting in the sideyard, so it's pretty easy... B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earth1 Posted November 19, 2011 Author Share Posted November 19, 2011 Thanks anyway guys. I snuck up to one parked on my street and got the measurements I needed. It may just work. I may be putting a WD21 carrier on a 1st gen 4Runner body. I'm thinking with the carrier, new hinge pins/bushings, zerks and metal I should be able to do this for well under $100- much less than it would cost me to make a carrier arm for my bumper that I might not keep anyway. If I can make it work, I'll post up. Now to find one in decent condition for a good price... josh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Precise1 Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Ok, I'm glad you got your info. It was raining yesterday... I'd sell you my spare unit, but shipping the pig would be rediculous. B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
