3rd Gen 4Runner tire carrier Build-Up

[Erich_870]

The cans can only be removed from the inside, so when latched and locked they are safe from would-be-theives.

Very cool! One question though, is the gas can capable of "tipping" back against the rig if you hit the breaks hard enough? Example: Hit the brake, hear a clunk against the back as the full can slams against the back gate.

Just wondered.

[BruceTS]

Finally complete! well almost...........



Showing the clearance between the body, any closer would not be advised.....



The secondary latch, is a padlock.....


Showing with both swung out, boy them HiLift extreme jacks look purdy.



Joyce is gonna order a FJ-40 license plate holder for me to install, but for now zip ties will do...


BTW thanks for all the complements.... now I need to build another for myself!
