I am looking for a tire swing latch that goes on the truck
Hummer H2For those who like a little more gleam to their Hummer, the H2 offers a similar rugged look as the H1, but as a lower cost, and with more added features, making it almost a massive luxury SUV.
I am looking for a tire swing latch that goes on the truck
Hello my fellow Hummer friends. I bought a tire swing and mount from craiglist and got screwed over by a guy telling me that the latch was cheap and you can get it anywhere, so if anyone has one or knows where i can find one, please let me know. I need the latch that goes on the truck that the swing latches close onto. In the picture, i need the part on the bottom left. Thank you!
Sorry some jerk took advantage of you.... I have the complete exterior spare tire set that I just removed. I have that part on the bottom left that you are looking for. Its part # 25864506 and it lists at a dealer between $400 and $600. I would let go of mine for you for $400 plus shipping. I dont know where you live so I could calculate the shipping costs.
From the dealer you are looking at over $600.00 for the latch as you probably already know. I have a take off one in excellent condition, would be $170.00 shipped UPS ground
Not sure what's wrong with your old latch (rust maybe?) have you considered re-conditioning your old one? It cost me a few buck to make it like new.
I completely dismantled the latch (and the whole carrier) and got the top-lever shot-blasted and powder-coated. I also carefully removed the V-Shaped rubber insert and got the casting blasted and powder-coated and glued the rubber back in.
The trickiest part was the steel pin holding the spring mechanism inside the top-lever. As the pin was "pressed" in the factory I filed this end flat to free the pin then drilled and tapped. You can see the small button-head SS screw (slightly bigger than the diameter) you'd never know.
The picture above shows the pin (RH) after filing, the zip-ties kept the pressure off the pin.
After all the re-work was done everything looked brand new!
Took these today after 2 years of English rain, I figure a brand new one would look the same!
