Sweet! Is that stainless? TIG looks so good...I MIG'd mine and it looks good too...until you compare it to TIG...lol

Do you do your cutouts with a plasma?

Re: FJ40 spare tire carrier
Thanks for the replies.

It's a '73 and not mine, a customers. Super clean, rebuilt from the ground up.


The customer supplied the hinge, latch, and plasma cut mounting plate. The latch is stainless, the rest is mild steel.

The hinge is a 1750lb custom unit from ebay. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/TIRE-...mZ230153237215

Re: FJ40 spare tire carrier
What gloriously clean welding! How come my first tig's look like heinous abominations? I know, I know, registration for tig class is @ the end of the month!
