Charles
Has Rob ever made a rear bumper for a 45?

Rob completed a "frame off" restoration on a LHD 45 Series Troopy not long ago that involved a LOT of custom work including a front brush bar but I'm not sure if he fabricated a rear bumper for that project however he had never fabricated a rear bumper for a 77 Series until mine showed up. Rob can basically fabricate anything you need.

To summarize ..... If you can draw it on a napkin and provide some rough dimensions, Rob can build it.

Thanks Charles. I'll touch base with about that.

Any progress on the 77 tire carrier bumper? i need one!

Sorry, we didn't go that route however there are a number of vendors on 'MUD that should be able to help you.
The version on my Cruiser, designed by Rob Smith Fabrications, is a vast improvement over the OEM "recycled beer can" design but it in no way supports the spare tire.

Luke at a 4x4 Labs might be an option if he had a 77 to use for prototyping

Here is his set up on my 73

Charles -
I am SOOOO SORRRRY for the hijack - even thought it was tech and on 77 Series topic.

First step down that slippery slope.....we could end up with armed insurrection and anarchy.....

Not to corrupt Charles' thread too much more, but a visit to 4x4 Labs by a 75, 77 or 78 owner is all that's needed to make this happen (well, some money, too). I know he is interested in expanding the line, but needs a live truck in-person for a while to do the prototype for each Series.
