I was thinking of a hybrid between the triangular design with the
pivot on one corner of the bumper, and then also utilizing the stock
CJ upper pivot and latch for added stability.

Maybe just reinforce the stick CJ carrier to support.


Just a thought.

In regards to the search for the perfect swingout hinge....

I also considered many designs, because I also become annoyed by things that
rattle and/or come loose. As I was scratching my head, wondering what I
could use that would be durable, I happened to glance at my bench, where
there just happened to be a throw-away rear driveline out of an S10 pickup.
I thought to myself that the Ujoint is custom made to handle large twisting
loads.

I ended up using the whole driveline instead of just the yoke, because I
thought it looked cooler/more white trashy. I get many compliments on the
driveline/swingout tire carrier, usually with a good laugh from the
complimenter.
