Re: tire rack with barn doors

Update,,,

I still have not figured out how I want to latch it. I feel I made a few mistakes I will share.

Bigggest,,,

I should have left the lower horizontal bar long until I was certain of the final lenght.

Originally I wanted to make it short enough so it did not interfer with the opposing door when it did does not have the tire on the rack.. I wont have the tire on there for running arounf town.

If had mouted the spindle on the driver side, and no tire, I want to be able to open the right door without touching the rack.

I dont feel the loop style latch mounted below the swing arm offered a lot of support. My other rack, (cj7/35) the latch is horizontal on the lower 2x3. Doiing it that way on the burb interfers with the barn doors.

Anyway,,, pics,
