Ping > Nathan - welding question
 

I am making a spare tire carrier that plugs into my 2" receiver. Can you
provide tip on welding two pieces of 2" square stock at right angles.

__| < this piece on top of the one that plugs in.

What are the heat issues and how to avoid distortion.

hi jim,
what thickness is your tubing? what process will you be using to weld them
together? based upon what youve given me so far i recommend cutting the
tubing at 45 degree angles so that the two pieces will come together to form
a 90 degree angle. lay them flat on a steel work table and position them
together and clamp them to the table. if you dont have access to a table,
using another piece of tubing will work, just lay it all out so that it
forms a big triangle and use a large c-clamp to clamp the pieces together.
personally i prefer the 11" vice grip c-clamps with swivel pads for clamping
the two together because the swivel pad assures even positioning. tack the
pieces together with tacks on each corner before welding and when you weld
do opposite sides first. tacking is the secret to prevent distortion....if
tacked adequately with clamps it should be fine.

Hi Jim,
I think you could go back to the drawing board, and design a
triangular frame off a corner of the body and bumper. You may not have
storage space for your spare when you need to use the two inch receiver.

Re: Ping > Nathan - welding question
 

Wall is 3/16". I will weld with a Craftsman 20559 wire feed mig w/map gas.
Are the 45's neccessary? Not sure how accurate I can cut a 45 with my chop
saw. I do want strength... my 35's are heavy.

the 20559 is capable of 1/4" so you should be fine there.

nah, the 45's arent "necessary" at all.....although they do add strength
(more surface contact) just butting the horizontal to the vertical piece
will be plenty strong also. it just cleans up the look a little but if
thats not an issue dont bother with it.

Re: Ping > Nathan - welding question
 

I considered a swing design off one corner, but I have yet to see one that
holds up at the swivel point. Most will bind up or develop slop (not that
this one will be perfect either). The receiver design can be easily removed
for a better design in the future. At this point, the only other thing I
use the receiver for is one of those carry-all racks. The spare would then
have to be thrown to the side and left behind.

your drawing confused me. it appears as if you want the tire between the

Re: Ping > Nathan - welding question
 

The plate is also 3/16". Without the offset (back to the Jeep), it would
put the tire to far out (from the Jeep)... it's going to affect my departure
angle regardless... just want to minimize what sticks out. With the offset
on to the bumper, it will help carry the weight (notice the top tube sits
flat on the angle iron bumper).
