Here I box tube and cut off a old hitch welded to a ford van door hinge and rim bolted to a D30 hub extended from a liberty front shaft.
I'm not done just yet.. Still have to add a little more strength.

 

This is temporary till I finnish the rear bumper and then I'll build a swing away and prolly just sell this one.

 

hmmmm.. I should bring the tire in some more..

 

Meh.. Do it another time.

Reason I did this was so I could put my kayak on with out having a big tire in the way.

 

Love this Idea had it 3yrs ago but never built it glad to know it works

 

Yea thanks. I forgot who I got it from but I know it's not my original idea

 

Good idea! When your done, you could take a spare rim and that square tube and make a grill. I saw it on here and thought it was a GREAT idea. Btw, nice build

 

You know what? I'll make one that runs on propane

 

nice, i really wanna make something like that! the other one i saw used the mount and some of a bicycle holder for a hitch, it looked good too.. if only a company made these for like $150, i'd buy on in a heartbeat!

also, just a comment on your design, i bet you could shorten the square tube you have the tire mounted on to clear your canoe and put it in the receiver in the bumper so you can still tow a trailer at the same time! i think that could be awesome...

 

Also.. Those annoying cars with HID's are no more lol

 

Looks nice big guy ..... how hard was it to do ?
