Well done! Spent a lot of money for the same feature on mine

Nice work... but she looks heavy!

Curious what the dimensions are on the steel you used?

What's the weight on that bad boy??

I went over that in the video but I used 2x3x.120 tubing. It’s definitely heavy

I need to put my welder buddies to work on something like this. I probably cannot afford them though

Nice job!!

Thank you. You should pick yourself up a MIG welder and start learning. Could build all sorts of stuff for your truck.

Yeah that would be fun if I had the room to make stuff. I can weld but not near as well as some of the guys I work around daily

That’s a nice setup you have!

Thank you!
Checked your video but didn’t mention anything about a gas strut, is it in the plans or you don’t think it’ll be very useful for you?

I won’t be adding a gas strut to this setup. Swing out carriers don’t usually have them. It’s an interesting idea though. It swings open so easily because of the bearings.

Mine does have on each side, helps out if your nose is lower than the rear or (in your case) left lower than right too. 37”+ start to be heavy sometimes
