Ordered 2" greenhouse clamp (buttjoint style) from greenhouse supplier. Clamped to rollbar then to pipe stub with plate welded to it. Three wheel studs on plate. Could fit a 33" under rollbar. If I adjusted the stub pipe, maybe a 35". I don't crawl but use plenty of rough roads - holds spare well. Pictures if interested.

 

Lets see the pics

 

Workin' on it.

 

Clamp is removable from rollbar, adjustable up and down rollbar. Just need to weld a stub pipe to wheel plate, and drill holes for studs. Enough room between tire and rollbar to lay a hi-lift against the clamp and fasten in some way. The allen set screw leaves a dimple, if you are a purist.

 

I mean, the clamp action leaves an impression in rollbar.

 

Good idea with the greenhouse clamp.

 

I've had a bug in my brain for doing something like this the last couple days. I like this set up... looks a lot simpler than some of the other examples I've found. Thanks for posting.

 

thanks for a great idea.

 

great idea, very clean looking.

 

Got a link to that green house clamp? Really like this idea!
