Homebuilt rear bumper and tire carrier

[jwshann]

A buddy and I built this what do ya think?

looks good. Did you put anything on the inside of the top attachment points to keep the weight from pulling the bolts through?

[jwshann]

Didnt think about that, I should put some flat washers in there to help. Thanks for the suggestion.

Ive also got some 33 inch swampers and 10 inch alum wheels.

That's cool. I love when i get new tires and wheels...new 36" IROKs and 10" wide rock crawlers.

Were you go wheeling at down here? Disney? Hot Springs?

Not bad. what bender did you use? The center looks a little weak, you may want to look at stiffing it up a bit. If you use the receiver to tow you will probably tweak it eventually. Here's mine, .I am doing a Bedbob this spring so I haven't built any upper rocker protection yet

The 2x2 in tube is tied into the frame, I think it will be alright on a straight pull. Side to side it will probably bend. I am not sure what brand of bender other than it being a tubing bender.

Usually Disney. There are a few places in Bella Vista or over in Mark Twain National Forest. I mentioned the tires and wheels because your post said you needed them.

Ya i forget to look at my sig. I need to modify it to current status. I'm hoping to get new toy done so i can play at disney.

i like that a bit. i would have made the middle bar connect to the top right after the spare tire. how much for you to build me one? :grin:

I agree on the bottom bar, the next one will be done differently.

also on the next one you build, you should center the tire, looks alot better

Actually the tire :lol: :spanka: :lol: is good right there because you can use the rear veiw mirror so you see those trees directly behind you when your in the woods.

Put it to the side so the rear view could still be used.
