Rhino Tire Carrier - Washer Specs

[Gamble]

Hello All, I was able to finally locate a rhino tire carrier. However, the company that makes them no longer sells the repair kit and the documentation isn't specific enough regarding the pivot pin retainer washer specs.

The retainer washer can be seen in the adjoining pics. Does anyone per chance know the washer specs?

This is the item which I bought. Works great and haven't had any issues.

A guy out here in SoCal had one. He has 1 more. Also 1 appeared today on Ebay. Both of these have a bent swivel pin. The guy out here in Cali has a replacement pin he'll give you with the tire carrier

I found the thrust washers but I can't find that small thick washer that makes contact with the brass thrust washer

No I haven’t. Can’t even picture it but if you say it happens I believe it. How is that even possible?

Just like Action said, they bend due to misuse or not being properly secured when driving. Ultimately, it's user error. Lol

How much is a pair of brass washers and a thick painted steel washer worth? It all looks like generic parts. I think for the grade 8 bolt and lock washers, i got a stack of them from an assorted pack so I’m good there.

Those brass thrust washers are $30.00. There is no info on specs on the painted steel washer. It looks like rubber but could be painted steel but that's the issue. No specs on that washer. Everything else is able to be determined.

Cool, that will be helpful. I spoke with Rhino and they didnt have the specs either. They just sell the repair kits.

I was going to say Rhino sells parts if you can't find it, but sounds like you got it.

got it on. Took some photos. The little mxc washer is the spacer I used so I can keep the mudflaps on the outside. It is slightly thinner than the mudflap but there is a patrusion on the bumper and the mud flaps compensates for this with a slightly hollowed out section behind the metal. That washer is 80 cents at ace hardware. The bolt that mounts the post could be a qtr to a half inch longer. I might get me a longer one. Hope this helps.

Brilliant. Do you have a sku# for the mxc washer and the black washer?

Dont have the skew but it is in the grade 8 thick washer box. It will be hard to miss. As for the black one, that might have to be special ordered or custom made. I would just get a qtr inch plate and ask a machine shop to cut 2 to 2.25” outside diameter and a half inch inside diameter circle with a cnc. Might be cheap.

It came with my kit a while ago. i kist thought it was a spacer so I mounted it behind the plate. It was no easy task removing it while the wheel was still mounted on it. Lol

I've got every one of those washers except the black one. That's the one I need.
