:? Ive been searchin the net tryin to find a respectably priced rear bumper with a swing away tire carrier and i cant find anything that wont cost me an arm and a leg, ive seen a few of em built here and there and was wondering if anyone could help me out on building one for myself. All i need is somthing good and tough that i can build a swing away tire carrier on. Heck maybe even a little rack or somthing. you know how it goes when you start building stuff for your jeep, you always find somthing else you want to add.. once you finish the last thing you did, any kind of help or ideas on how to do this would really be appreciated, so..... if ya got any ideas go ahead and give me your 2 cents worth thanks, Ridgerunner. :D
 

you got skills? can you weld? a friend of mine made a nice one for me (i dont weld) out of 4"x4"x1/4" angle for my previous YJ - and it wasnt that tough - took him maybe 2 hrs. or so... never needed a tire rack but that would be an easy add on... if youre interested i can post more on the design...
 
I am going to build front and rear bumpers out of 2x5x1/4. I priced the steel and it is around 160.00 for what I will be needing. I am going to make them like the Warn rock crawler bumpers but I am adding some lights. The lights will be "frenched" into the bumpers so they wont get damaged too easy. I will also be using the front bumper as an air tank and the rear one as a water tank. I will take pics and will be glad to e-mail them to anyone who would like to post them. I have given up on trying to post pic's here.
