I can VERY easily see that spindle or weld snap when putting a tire on it. It's not designed for the way you have it. Unless you were to a-frame the base on both sides and box it in, maybe.

It's supposed to be like this.

Nice work on the chop though. Best one I've seen with you closing it all up.

Ya I know I put it like that cause I didn't like how it would look with the bottom part sunk in the bumper I'm going to be putting braces on the sides of the spindle so it doesn't have a chance to snap

Had a very productive day today



Project rock king-image-3387563677.jpg
Got some gussets made for my swing arm and now it barely moves



Project rock king-image-803754638.jpg

I got my hoop bent at my buddy's house last night so I got that put on. I made it taller so I can accommodate 35s later on.

Also put my latch on so now it's not tied to my jeep with rope so it doesn't swing out on the highway lol.

And if you look close enough I know you will notice the hoop is tilted backwards a little. Yes I know it is the lol I made it that way so when I put the tire the rain water will run off the tire a bit.
