i use 5/32 plate , and cut holes for the factory fog , that's why it looks thick

i just do some light wheeling , so i don't need it rock solid and heavy


i should start making the rear one soon, my rear tire is a bit heavy for the stock carrier


enough tread hijack for today

My buddy at work wants to start making some, with swing-out tire carriers, so you might-could be the test subject.
