Default Slanted Smittybilt XRC tire Carrier

Decided to cut up my tire carrier and make a slanted one. My first attempt set the tire too high so I had to shorten it a bit. I still need to grind it a bit and get it painted but I'm proud of it turned out. Please try not to make fun of my ugly welds..lol I just turned 19 and just started learning how to weld

Thanks guys

Yeah I definitely feel lucky to have mine, I know most kids my age get everything bought by their parents but I've worked for all of mine and put everything on it myself, I have my own landscape business which is in an enclosed trailer so I got use to not using my rear view mirror lol it's not too bad I can see a little through the wheel but it's not that bad haha
