I started on the laptop with an elaborate tube bumper. I built it on the truck. I mocked and tacked it all up. After I was done I thought it was too much, hung too low and I just didn't like it. It took all day to make. I took the saw to it. My wife thought I was crazy. This is what I came up with, with the parts left over. Simple and light. Sorry for the blurry pics. The waterfall camera is ready for the trash. Its all 1.75x.120 HREW. The D ring plates and mount plates are 3/8.   I already have the tire carrier built on the laptop and printed out. All I have to do it bend it up. I have the A to Z hinge already. I will update it when I have it assembled. It is similar to the C-rok without the flat top. |

Got most the tire carrier done. Need to pick up the plate for the tire mount and the sheet metal to skin it with tomorrow. I am going to add trusses to the carrier and build a latch. Then its just finish work.  |
