You could save some weight by angling the uprights of the spare carrier to meet in the center (Inverted "Y").

As to the winch...

Plug it into the receiver and pull it up using a snatch block at the top of the spare carrier. OR: Fab the spare carrier vertical using standard 2.5" receiver tube, (or leave enough free to make a receiver "sleeve") and you can mount a temp snatch block to hoist up the spare. Pull it out when the spare is bolted on.

The spindle is from 4x4 Lab and is rated at 3500 pounds and was the biggest I could find. Jeremy there will be some leds on the back sometime I'm slow at doing things and this working stuff sucks.

I couldn't agree more! I wish this pesky job didn't eat up so much time.

As thankful as I am to have a good job it really dose cut into the Jeep building time.

I picked up some parts at the swap meet Sunday and had the Day off for the shin dig in Tipp City so I made some progress today on my bumper.

I got these lights for the Polaris years ago and they never worked out on it but they should work out fine to light up the table. Looks like I will have room for the jack and a shovel also.
