Re: Ping > Nathan - welding question
 

I agree with Nathan. That is one cool design. I've been looking around for a
better hinge ever since I built my bumper:

http://www.monograms-inc.com/jeep/jeepin-bumper.htm

Last year I rebuilt the hinge because the bearings had rusted into a solid mass
of iron oxide. <lol> This time I used bronze oil-lite bushings and while they
are better than the timpken bearings I used previously there is still room for
improvement. This idea has all kinds of merit. You could used sealed bearing
cups, or keep the zerk fitting and grease the hinge every now and then.

Good job, . . . and back to lurking for me ;-)

Re: Ping > Nathan - welding question
 

I really appreciate your compliments, it means much knowing that a
weldor/fabricator by trade found merit in something that I did out in the
garage.

I would be honored to be added to your site in a more permanent fashion.
Thank you for inviting me. I will take some more pics of the whole vehicle
in the near future and forward them to you. YJ is a constant
work-in-progress, but still the favorite daily driver for myself and wifey.

Thanks again for all of your compliments.

Jerry

all i did was call it like i see it brother, youre the one that built one
hell of a tire carrier! jeepers are unique in many ways...but the most
prominant (to me) being the preference of raw simplistic function over how
"pretty" something is. your tire carrier SCREAMS "jeeper" and would look
out of place on any other type of vehicle.

good deal....ill leave the page as is and add the frontal pictures to the
page and link it off the main jeepers page.
