Used the 4X INOVATIONS hinge kit. Great quality and works fantastic! I fabbed the rest.

 

Is it as stout as it looks?

 

lol yes is!
the weak link in my project is the frame of the truck...

 

Finished

 

I like it man. Ive been wanting to do something similar to my smittybuilt for a long time.
Maybe this will motivate me…

 

took about 3 days. I used 2x4x3/16 tubing.
The 4x innovations hinge kit
Which is awesome!!!
I custom made my T handle lock for the opening end. Just a nut welded to a bracket the swingarm rest on. A bolt with a bar wedded on top of it for the handle...
I put some little legs on either side of the wheel to keep the middle of the swingarm from sagging.

 

 

Looks like you did a good job man…
