Rear Bumper

[JBoone]

Does anyone have any prints or drawings on for a rear bumper. The price of buying one is a little high. I'm thinking about mounting the spare on the bumper to swing open so I can let the tailgate down. I'm open to ANY ideas. Thanks for the help!

Take a look at my gallery... I have a bumper that might work for you.



There are no drawings for it, but here are the details:



8"x4"x1/4" rectangular tubing that is tapered to 6" on the outboard edges. 1/4" steel plate welded to the back in strategic places to mount to the frame both on the sides and between the receiver hitch and frame. Cut a box big enough to put your license plate in and drill holes to mount lights.



From there you can drill a hole on the right or left side and put a swing out hinge in and fab up a tire holder. Seen it done on a similar bumper, but mine clearly does not have it.



PM me if you'd like more details. It's really simple to build a bumper like you want.
