I am thinking it needs a charge, the compressor was likely disconnected so the motor could be swapped so it likely needs a suck and charge. SDC is our resident a/c expert with al the expensive play tools

alright engineers, For my tire swing the arm is 2" square tube .120 wall and the mounting BS for the tire and other goodies is going to be 1" sch 40 pipe *.120 wall* Bent into 2 upside down "U's" creating an "M"
My question is how much is it going to want to rock forward and back toward and away from the lift gate with having no triangulation on the hoop. I havent bent anything yet just curious if I need to rethink before I bend a bunch of pipe
Something similar to this but the tire will be as far toward the spindle as possible

honestly i think 1" dia is going to be too small for carrying a load like that, especially if it's only 0.120 wall. What size tire will you be carrying?

and for reference i'd never use anything less than .188 wall for load carrying applications, just for cosmetic stuff

And if you have the money I suggest DOM over HREW
These are the SCORE and BITD requirements based on the weight of the vehicle for reference:
Under 2000 lbs: 1.5 x .090
2000-2999: 1.75 x .120
3000-3999: 2.0 x .120
over 4000: 2.25 x .120

that thickness is ok for a buggy frame / cage, but you're going to want bigger than 1" dia. at LEAST 1.5", 1.75 or 2" dia. would be much smarter. The diameter is very important to resist buckling loads under compression.

as for the tire carrier jump up dia and wall? and will 3" tall gussets be enough bracing against lateral movement or do I need to make them more comparable to the height of the hoop?
