- Homemade, Homebuilt, DIY… whatever you want to call it! We're building this bad boy 100% from scratch!
In this episode I am going to show you how I make an Offroad tire carrier capable of holding a 40" tire! Follow along with me as I go over the basic techniques to fabricate a project like this. Manifesting something from nothing is extremely rewarding and I recommend building these kinds of projects to everyone who has ever considered it.

I honestly think Nate's fab videos are my favorite thing on youtube lol
Wow man thanks! Giant compliment!
I like his because he actually fabs for the most part. I don't like the goofy new guy. Annoying.
DITTO!!! I agree, 100%.
As a fabricator by trade and hobby I enjoy your videos. Don't have a jeep anymore, but still like watching bleepinjeep videos. 👍
Awesome man! Glad to have you as a part of our community 🤘
Love watching you fabricate! We just got a Millermatic 252 for our shop at our heavy equipment yard. I can’t wait to learn how to use it !! I’m a little nervous and honestly intimidated a bit though. I told Matt I wanted to be the first Bleepin girl and he replied “ do it , we need one” I’m gunning for it!!! Thanks for teaching me y’all ! ❤️🐞
Right on! Glad you enjoy it! That Millermatic is supposed to be a kick ass machine! Dont be intimidated, you will pickup welding even easier than you think. It's all about hours. You just need to put some time into it and you will fall in love with creating something from nothing just like the rest of us! A bleepinjeep Lady sounds like a good idea to me 🤘
Nate Bleepinjeep - Thanks for the encouragement Nate!! If I get in a bind and need some help I know of a great fabricator that lives in Seattle. Lol 😆. ❤️🐞
@@GoatOffroad yes you do!
Nate, every one of your videos teaches me something new. You have a natural knack for fab work. You’re a very smart guy! Thanks for taking the time to share. Your videos are some of my favorite on RUclips.
Glad to hear my videos can help you out! Huge compliment by the way, thank you 👍
Just a thought. When you replace the front hub and bearing assembly. Bolt it on to the tire carrier to hold the tire. Then, if needed, you will have an emergency front bearing and hub assembly. You will also have spare studs and nuts.
How is this channel not at 1 million by now?
It's nice to see different people's way of fabricating things. It gives you more ideas to work with on your own projects!
I've been wanting to do this to my WJ in the future. Now all I have to do is learn how to weld. Cool video thanks.
No prob man! Thanks for watching
This was awesome to watch Nate! I'm a welder, and a light offroader, and you did a great job fabricating! And keep practicing Aluminum and steel TIG welding. You'll get it for sure. Awesome work.
Thank you! I've got alot of practice ahead of me but I'm very excited to finally build this skill. It is something that I've wanted to learn for along time!
That's pretty slick. It looks great on the Jeep. Thanks for putting together the video.
Thanks for watching! I'm happy to put it together for you guys
Dude, you rock man. I just want to drop by your shop and hand you tools. Great videos, keep em coming.
Great project. Maybe at the end say how much time spent and cost of materials. Always useful info in DIY build vs buy. Thanks to evetyone at BJ for some of the best Jeep videos.
That looks badass!
Thanks!
Man that looks professional!!! The summer project’s I am thinking of 😁
Love watching you be creative with metal fabrication, makes me want to learn to weld so bad.
Easy to learn a mig! First step, get a welder! You won't look back and think I shouldn't have learned another skill!
Now that's a Bleepin' Jeep Video!
I rea;;y like you fabrication videos Nate. Thanks!
Thank you!
You're a great builder,enjoy what you build. Keep up the great work
Thank you! I appreciate you taking the time to comment
Nate was the best move Matt did for bleepinjeep !
Thank you! 🤘
No prob keep up the great content
That looks awesome man. you have great skills
Love your build videos Nate! Best content on Bleepin Jeep at the moment
Thanks buddy!
Your tire carriers are so beautiful
I appreciate it man!
Great job! Fantastic details. Thanks for sharing!!
Damn spot on and great craftsmanship
automatic thumbs up for Bender B. Rodriguez
Lol thanks man👍
Nate Bleepinjeep I’m to videotape the hole process of me swapping it in tj.
Very nicely done. Looks like one you would buy for hundreds of dollars.
I just noticed the Bender sticker. I love it!!!
I just noticed that on this video too, it's awesome!
Bender on bender
I finally found it. Looked all through DL for this. Forgot it was that long ago.
I love that you use dimple die as much as you can😁😁!! The carrier looks great!!!
The tire carrier came out nice great job.
This is one of the most awesome things i've seen!
Wow thanks!👍
@@natebleepinjeep9564 heard some of the crew will be coming to Panama City Beach for Jeep Beach Jam!
@@bowstobourbon I've heard the same lol. Most of us can't make it but Jeremy and Matt will be there!
@@natebleepinjeep9564 Bummer you cant make it, hope i get to meet them! Again thanks for all the great content, Cheers man!
No, you ring my bell! 😁
Very nice and solid construction, would be cool to see it opened and tire taken out, just too see the full functionality...
Even though we know how it vurks.
Lol glad I'm ringing somebody's 😂
Got to love those bed frames
Love the video Nate. I am also wanting to build one of these! Prolly do a similar set up. I may check into the aluminum tubing to cut weight myself. Thanks again and keep them coming.
Glad you enjoyed it! Aluminum is a sweet way to go. The performance of having a light weight trail rig can be beat!
@@natebleepinjeep9564 where do you get your bushing? Aluminum may be harder to find.
@@phu1324 it's a tj leaf spring bushing kit from 4wheel parts. Runs about 20 bucks. 2"dom works perfect for the sleeve 🤘
@@natebleepinjeep9564 sweet thanks!
Nice Brake machine. Interesting method to adapt welding the parts together on the floor w/ chalk lines. I know a frame repair guy who does the same when he is straightening chassis/frames on damaged vehicles. Looking forward to your review on that Miller Welder and more about your welding skills as they improve with "Alu minum" !
I’m curious how you mounted the hinge points on the Jeep, if they were strong enough to hold the tire and carrier, and if there was any slop or sag in the carrier?
Me too. Are you running flat stock inside the jeep between the two hing points to reinforce? What's inside the back pillar that you can hang that much weight on?
Gusset/reinforcing the inner tub against the roll cage and the bottom against the frame?
Turned out great man. I'm sure you're aware, but I thought I'd mention it just in case you're not - you said a couple times aluminum is nice because it doesn't rust. It will corrode though, if left exposed to the elements, in a bunch of different ways. And if left untreated, can be pretty catastrophic to a part. But again, nice work on the tire carrier - it looks awesome.
So that’s you who invented that body mount spare tire carrier. Awesome man!
Would you mind inventing one for Toyota SUVs please like 4runner and Sequoia.
Nice fab work!!
Thank you! I appreciate it!
You have skills ....looks great and looks like it will hold up .
Nice job. Looks great
Thanks!
Looks awesome I really can’t wait to start learning to fabricate
Definitely keep coming back to this DIY. Would love to get the DIY kit for this carrier since no one makes a decent TJ tub mounted tire carrier
Looking to build one of these for myself soon because my bumper tire carrier combo suckkkkssss. Awesome buld as usually nate!
Build one! Lots of design options out there and you save tons of money building this kind if stuff yourself
looks great next project
best bleepin jeep video to date imo.. usually i everything the videos cover is pretty basically or i already know but this one gave me a whole new method of fabrication thats just a bit different than my current ways and will inspire some new creations
also where do you buy the bushings/sleeves at a reasonable price?
Thanks man! I get these bushings at 4wheel parts for about 20 buck for a set of 4. They are yj leafspring bushings🤘
@@natebleepinjeep9564 thanks! is there a specific size pin/tubing you buy to go with the bushings? dont have a lathe but would like to make pivot points with less slop
@@AndrewBrowner the bushings come with the sleeve. If you Google yj leaf spring bushing you should see what I'm talking about 👍
Nate don't forget to use anti seize on stainless hard ware to prevent cold welding. Stainless on stainless can be a pain to get off after it cold welds it self. Also very nice and clean work as always.
Where is the stainless on stainless?
I would be more worried about the strength of stainless. Somewhere between grade 2 and grade 5 on a rig that takes that many hits with a wheel that heavy.
God I love that Jeep. If I had the money ide probably copy it identically.
Damn Nate that turned out really good I love the finished product. Very professional!
Can always build up the gashes with the spool gun grind them flat then repaint
Nice build, Nate!
Looks amazing as always with your fabrication work definitely no corners cutting in your products.
I love your shop!! Makes me want to get out there and get my Jeep together! I’m filming too!! Inspiring stuff man you got skills!
The Bender cartoon on your bender is awesome! LOL :D
Lol thanks man!
Great work Nate. Would like to have seen how that swings open with the tire on it. Also, you need to find a home for that shear and bolt that sucker down.
Nate, that is awesome! I've been wanting to do something similar, but am not really sure how to best support it structurally. I would love to see how you did the attachment points, surely it's more than just what is external to the Jeep. There has to be some internal support as well? Great job, and keep it up. I'll be coming back to this video for sure!
😋😀😀😁😋😁😁😁
X2
Awesome job! Wish I had a shop with all those awesome tools!
Great video. Something to not is that dissimilar metals corrode eachother just by touching. For instance if you put steal rivets on a piece of aluminum it will rust the rivets.
Great job bro ,i was going to do the swing out type on my 97 tj but this looks similar to the deviate carrier.
Awesome build Nate 😊 you have some amazing skills dude 😊
I appreciate the kind words🤘 I'm glad your enjoying the content
Thank you sir. Quality work here
I love your videos I have a xj and would love to put a Diesel in it lol keep up the good videos
Thanks man! Diesel swaps are expensive but very worth while!
Can you show how you made the back outer fenders in aluminum and then mounted the bushing holder? that is an excellent setup and I want to do something similar.
Great work
Love these videos 👍 nice work 👌
Glad to hear it! Thank you!
Nice job!
And as always, great video!
Thank you!
gotta love the bender sticker on the bender. good stuff
Love it man. Any ideas for a 2006 WK ? (I know, not a wrangler). Would love your recommendations or a video. Thanks ! 🇺🇸
I love those WKs. If I had one it would be the crd of course lol with an overlander themed build. A reasonable size (33s probably) with tube everywhere! Tube bumpers, sliders, roof rack, the works! And a well designed skid can completely change the capability of any rig! Needs to be able to slide over rocks 🤘
Yo Nate when are you guys going to get the Moab videos up? I'm the guy from the silver LJ that ran into you guys on Kane Creek. Pretty much ran behind your group the entire day until the traffic jam on Hamburger Hill got cleared up.
Nice Nate! I'd like to get a tubing bender at some point because I think it definitely takes making things to the next level. Nice layout and design on your carrier. I always look forward to your fab videos. I also like your Multimatic 220. I just bought a Multimatic 215 and love it!
I know this is an older video, but damn that's a good looking tire carrier! I'll have to steal some design elements for sure.
Nice build Nate . I'm loving the construction sections of this channel . I like the way you break things down so regular Joe can understand . Crucially I don't feel like you talk down to your viewers treating them like total dumb-asses . It's also nice to hear a "professional" You Tuber (I don't know if you count yourself as a professional Nate ? No insult intended .) openly admit they don't have a skill set and there's something they can't do and need to learn . I have a feeling there maybe some "I did it this way guys and it was wrong." , "This is the way I should have done it." sections in your upcoming videos as we come along for the ride and learn new skills with you . Thanks for the hard work in creating this content . It's appreciated .

Thank you for taking the time to comment! I suppose I could considered a professional RUclipsr😂. I try to to just be myself up here. I work up as good a video as my current skills allow and hope for a positive response. Glad you noticed that I'm not trying to portray myself as anything better than I am. Lots more content in the future, and I'll definitely try to include even more things that I've learned (mistakes aswell) in my upcoming videos! Glad to have you as part of the bleepinjeep community buddy👍
@@natebleepinjeep9564 Speak as I find Nate . Commenting for thirty seconds is the least I can do for the effort you put in and the knowledge I gain . I wish I could do more but sadly funds are tight and times are hard . When things get better I will certainly be throwing a couple o' bucks your way .
Keep the rubber side (mostly) down Nate (Tough with a crawler LOL) .
Thanks for taking the time to reply too .

The video I was secretly hoping Nate would make but didn't think would ever happen 😆😆😆
Lol thanks man! Glad I finally put it together for you guys. I've been getting requests for this for awhile now🤘
@@natebleepinjeep9564 good thing that rock smashed the hell out of your old carrier hahaha.. maybe bash those rear wrap around fenders up next would enjoy a video on how they were made
@@AndrewBrowner either that or make some for his brother's TJ and record it!
Looks great!
You should deff make a video fabbing some brush bars running from the front bumper to the slider
That thing is sweet. I like it.
Pretty sweet!
About how much steel was used for this project in length? Trying to get a rough estimate for this project in the future. Thanks!
Buen trabajo !!!!!!! 👍
I like this idea. However, you wouldn't be able to mount anything like Off Road In Mind's recovery gear box, for example. What are your thoughts on mounting things like this to the back of your tire? Assuming the tire carrier can bear the weight, of course.
Ha I love the bender on the bender
Lol thanks!
Amazing work, looks great!
You do good work on bending. Really like the tire carrier.
Thanks!
Cool video! How strong are the brackets to the body?
What do you do for the third brake light? I put a cheapy LED bar type one (along with a backup camera) on my DV8 tire carrier that mounts basically exactly the same. So, had to run the wires thru the tube on the hinge side with an external service loop to navigate the hinge. I think it works pretty good, but I'd be interested to see what you come up with. I really enjoy your videos.
I've never messed around with the third brake light. I pretty much only drive it on the street when I'm in Moab Utah and if I was getting pulled over up here it wouldn't be for the brake light lol
Hey bro i like your tire carrier did you built the bracket also
Can you make a video on how to fab your own cargo rack for the rear cargo area of Jeep
LU 208 here brotha! 💪
what happens when you get rear ended? does the body bend and squash your rims?
How hard will it be to fabricate a slanted tire carrier?
Thanks in advance
Where did you get those bushings from, id like to get some of those instead of something like a bearing kit price wise
Has that black stripe always been on the side of the J10 or is that new?
I did the stripes when I repainted the grill. Little unassuming touches aren't always noticed at first lol
Looks good Nate. Has me interested in the shear/brake now..
These little tools can be so valuable... and take up so much space!!!
Yeah. You have far more space than I. Already stuffed half my basement with a bench mill, 10" lathe, a 100 year old 30 ton press. Drills, saws and a 4 by 4 diy plasma table that needs wired up still. Add in a couple benches and it's stuffed. 😆
@@AttwoodsGarage damn! You got all the toys!
@@natebleepinjeep9564 But hardly anyplace to play! Been building my exo'd XJ/MJ mashup outside since my garage hides the F100 in my profile pic.
Did you make the front bumper on the blue Wrangler in the video. If you did. Did you film that build
Really nice work sir😎👍🇺🇸
Thank you! 🤘📹👍
How did u bolt the brackets to the jeep just on the sheet metal? Did u add something on the back to help support the weight? Your tire carrier came out bad ass!
this is good stuff!
Thanks man!
Bro, I need this tire carrier in the worst way. Do you sell these??
I was about to ask the same thing
Awesome vid
Thanks Jose 🤘
Where do you get your tubing? I can’t seem to find anyone that sells raw metals near me
I ❤️ Floyd Equipment /Interwest Metals. Have you experimented with low temp aluminum brazing rods? I’m seeing them advertised a lot.
Not yet but I would like too! I've been very curious about those aswell
I’m going to pick up some on Amazon and experiment with them. If they pass the test they will go into my dual sport motorcycle tool kit. Way cheaper than an AC/DC tig welder.
