dont kno if this has been covered yet but what about electronic gate openers for farm gates, like this... http://www.northerntool.com/shop/too...s+gate-openers

i'm surprised this thread isn't dead yet. honestly with anything short of a truggy/chop top a swing-up carrier just isn't feasible. Not to mention a swing down carrier makes a ton more sense IMO.

just my $.02

X2

I'm gonna go get the chop saw tomorrow, then **** is gettin done lol.

play nice, feasible? probably. more work than what its worth? definatley. Its got me wanting to built one that looks decent and works well so i like to see this thread pop up every now and again. if just for ideas and nae sayers.

and id like to see what he comes up with even if it takes 4 yrs

yea even if it is more work than its worth itll be a kool design and very unique if i had the materials and tools i would try this as well

poor excuse

ok im broke

better. still not that good of one.

I have higher things on my jeeps priority list, is mine for not tring one yet

well i just bought that cj and im still in highschool so im really broke haha

I think this will be a good idea after a few modifications

awsome idea when I make my bumper Im gunna use this idea thanks

Would a swing up work if you attached it to an external roll bar?

im sure it would but if you've read the entire thread than you will note that there is alot of geometry and angles and stuff you would have to work out, personally i like my idea of an elec farm gate opener mounted to the roll cage or roof rack and then to the tire carrier portion, that way you just hit a button and there ya go its open or closed

those are some serious tire carries
