The tire placement looks perfect! I want to build one of these one day. 
Thanks, I'm still overseas for a couple of months. I will get back to you when I'm ready.
AKcruiserfreak - I dont' think you need to worry about making it any stronger. Really good tire placement to me. Could you show a pic of that center latch now that it's all welded up, curious as to how you've done that.

Here it is! Finally got the time to finish everything up. It's not perfect but I kinda like it. I was worried about people ripping off my gas and/or jerry cans hence the ugly locks and extra metal. Here's the pics. Let me know if you see anything that needs extra support.
Also, Here's a close up pic of the latch mechanism.
Thanks

Looks better than mine (because yours is finished haha).

How are the rattles with that latch?
That is really nice. Glad you got it finished. Thanks for the extra picture.

Shotgun, does this mean that I get to bug you until you get yours finished? lol
Fourrunner, it doesn't rattle at the latch. Everything else rattles, but not the latch. I welded some extra metal on the nut so it sits perfectly flush with the pin.
Thanks for the props cruiserpilot, if you need any more detailed pics let me know.
It's been a fun project, now I need to get out and enjoy it!

By all means haha. I just don't have any time since my welder/all the fab stuff is 40 minutes away, which doesn't seem bad, except I can't find time to go down there with school, work, social, etc, etc, etc.
Spring break is fast approaching though, so maybe that's what I'll knock out.

Here's the last couple of pics in a place other than my garage! This just kinda shows perspective. Thanks for all the help and kind words on this project. Mud rocks!!!

What is that threaded rod? Is that a big bolt welded in the back side with a hole drilled in the end for a pin?
Great bumper build... I must increase my non-existent welding skills..
nice
