to lock it open, you should add a spring loaded barrel latch, like the ones used on utility trailers with a ramp. when you raise the ramp up, you use those to "lock" each side into place. i got weld on ones from amazon to use on my utility trailer. you would only need a hole in the top of the bumper to hold it in place
I like your bumper and spare tire mount, I wish you would have showed it with the tire on it. I'm thinking about making a spare tire mount for my 2016 Teryx that uses the trailer hitch mount. and comes up at an angle to about the height of yours for my 31x10x15 carnivores. Im using kawasaki beadlock wheels from a 2022 KRX1000
@@whiteknuckleoffroadadventu2840 thanks, i'm still playing with height as i dont want to block my rear view mirror view. and I hope you look into the barrel latch idea, you have the talent and skills to make it work. I need to learn how to weld and get more metal cutting tools so I can do these things like you
The only thing I didn't like about a receiver hitch tire mount was they kind of wiggle around maybe you could put a couple of bungies on it to keep it tight
@@whiteknuckleoffroadadventu2840 I'll have two bars coming off each side of tubing near top to bolt to frame just underneath bed. plus my receiver hitch has a bolt on top and on the side to make that end tight
Nice work. Do you sell these? I don’t think anyone else makes a swing away spare tire carrier for the teryx.
Thanks I really appreciate it I only ended up building the one for that machine and I have since sold it
Do you have a video on the rear bumper. Can you make one to show how you made it. Thanks
Unfortunately I don't have the machine anymore

So the bumper is it a Kawasaki bumper ? And we’re can I buy the round hinge unit that you welded into the bumper
No the bumper is one I built my self and I found the barrel hinge on ebay it was about 65.00 bucks and the handle was around 30 .00 both on ebay
How much does all this weigh?
Not sure exactly but probably around 150 lb
With the tire and the can? Thanks
Yes the tire and fuel pack weigh about 55 lb
would you be interested in making me one if you could?
I would definitely be interested in building one for you. But we just moved into a new house and we don't have a shop yet
