Pezzy Posted April 12, 2006 Author Share Posted April 12, 2006 I was working on the rear bumper before you even posted about them.. settle down over there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herm Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 here is a bumper with the hi-lift jack on the angled brace that supports the spare. Would interfere with the CB antennae but just for ideas - since it seems most of the R50 owners are fixated on rear bumpers recently. I like the side guards, for wheeling in trees the rear quarters take a lot of abuse. I think this is by Hanna, who does nice work, and really makes some overbuilt stuff. The Land Cruisers can take a lot more weight hanging off the rear end than R50s, but this pic was just to show the side guards and hi-lift option for ideas.

ILoveMyPatty Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 Nice Pezzy, looks good! Mind making a bumper/carrier for my '90 free of cost? How do those Duellers hold up on your Pathy? The ones on our Superduty didn't last long... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pezzy Posted April 19, 2006 Author Share Posted April 19, 2006 How do those Duellers hold up on your Pathy? The revos are awesome, had them for a year now, and no complaints! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XPLORx4 Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 (edited) I dont have a hi-lift so it wasnt in the planning, but with a bit of work we could add that if I ever do want. No hi-lift? :o What will you use if you get a flat while on the trail? (I hope you weren't counting on the bottle jack!)

Casey.T Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 I am betting we could get that on a WD21 no problem.... Can we get a list of materials>>> some Prints would be sweet.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spolar93 Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 bringing this back... whatd you use for the hinge? alot of people on pirate are using 1750lb trailer axle spindles. and what latch did you end up using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatteras Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 Pezzy, the bumper looks Great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XPLORx4 Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 (edited) Similar to Pezzy's and many other tire carriers, my bumper's tire carrier also uses a similar spindle for the hinge. The most important thing about welding to the spindle is to prevent it from getting too hot, or the metal will crystallize and fail. My spindle was TIG-welded in phases to keep the metal cool. Probably a safer solution is to build the tire carrier hinge in double-shear, with a bracket above and below the hinge, and not use a trailer axle spindle at all. In this pirate4x4 thread you can see how the trailer spindle snapped (crystallized metal), and the redesigned hinge was built in double-shear. For the latch, I recommend this part, #5071A62. (To order, go to mcmaster.com and enter "5071A62" in the search field.) Edited July 15, 2007 by XPLORx4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spolar93 Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 i was gonna try and reuse the stock latch from my tire carrier. i dont really like the idea of using the spindle cause its so damn tall. might and up using a d44 spindle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jarsiff Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 Damn theres a few of these that just look great! I wonder whos going to be the first to throw down a price and build a few more huh? huh? huh? huh? huh? LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pezzy Posted July 16, 2007 Author Share Posted July 16, 2007 Hinge... that was a custom job -- a relative of my ex who has his own shop made a few for us. We had to be careful as XPLORX4 said re: heat... it was a matter of making a few welds then letting it cool... Latch... mine is pretty much the same as above... I was going to go snap a pic, thanks for saving me Dean! Tires... I've had the Revo AT's since April 2005 and have had no problems, they didn't seem to alter my millage much, they're good in the winter, and I love them offroad... They may not be mudders, but they have seen a lot of mud, and rocks, and they haven't held me back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pezzy Posted February 24, 2009 Author Share Posted February 24, 2009 I think there's only one left, if it makes you feel better. When I got my lift. Not really exciting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tekazgtr1984 Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 I'm a huge fan of her R50, that's why. And I'm trying to design a similar rear bumper for my rig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
