Rear swing out tire carrier pics?

[xlcaferacer]

I know many of you have swing out tire carriers and I would like to see some pics. I got an EMS Offroad build it yourself tire carrier kit for Christmas and am now looking for ideas. I am building upon a bumper I have already built for my 1989 Toyota extra cab. I have a Wildernest on the truck and would love to mount my spare tire, water jugs of some nature, a small propane tank that I will use for my stove and little buddy heater, and maybe a fuel can. I would like to keep the bed clear of all these things as I don't like to unload all of these items every time I need to set up my camper. I am also planning on some sort of flip down table on the backside of the carrier (toward the tailgate when closed) in order to set up my stove when camped. This may seem like a lot to ask for but I have seen some pretty sweet setups and I think I can make some; if not all, of this work. So please post some pics of your carriers whether you built them yourselves or bought them, I just want to see some ideas. Thanks.

Lots of designs in this thread on swing-out hinges. I'd recommend just adding on to that topic rather than starting another one.

Love my Man-A-Fre 4+ rear bumper w/ swing-out carriers. One side has my spare tire and ham radio antenna, the other side holds either three five-gallon jerry cans or a 40 qt cooler, plus a Hi-lift jack and a cb or HF antenna.

The pivots are huge steel posts set in bronze bushings. I modded mine by drilling and tapping both sides for grease zerks, so I don't have to take it apart to grease the bushings:

There's a whole section dedicated to rear bumper builds on my site

The bumpers above are exactly what I'm wanting pictures of. I saw the thread on hinges but I already have the swing and latch part figured out. I am looking for more pictures like those posted above that are of fully accessorized swing out carriers. So let's see how functional your rear carrier is.

thanks for the welcome TACODOC, I have been a lurker for years but now its build time, but on a budget. I really like what you are rockin on the rear of your truck. Rube Bonets carrier is ultra trick as well; very elaborate, but very trick and lustful. I am definately getting some good ideas. I just got my Christmas bonus from work so some Old Man Emu rear leafs are coming soon in order to help carry the weight and then it is build time, so please keep the ideas coming.
