Define "cheap"
I'm not sure 'best', 'cheap' and 'heavy-duty' go together when it comes to bumper options, but could depend on your take on cheap. Building it yourself is about the only way I see cheap(er).

Ok let's rephrase that to what's the best bang for the buck?
I know that IPOR had a nice looking rear bumper for about 300 bucks without a swing out. I'm waiting for them to finish 'redesign' then I'll probably getm that one.

That's the Golden Three (aka Project Triangle): Good, Fast and Cheap; Pick any two.

I am leaning towards the 4+Plus bumpers...to be different and appear to be made very well. Not a lot of choices I have found unless you like ARB or ARB. 
Or tube style...

I vote for SROR personally. Jim is a standup guy - worth talking to (might cut you a deal), and makes an awesome product(s). Like i said - worth talking with at least. PLUS he can fab stuff to your specs - which is nice to have something different if you can imagine it.
I just got my front bumper and sliders from him (not even on the truck yet), but DAMN they are build for stout!

Not sure how many folks got that.....steel is real!
Still lusting for the original ti-bonty
I will be in line for the IPOR bumper as well....based on cost
From what I have read SROR is where its at in terms of quality,craftsmanship, and reputation
Maybe Jim can post his .02
Time,quality, and material cost=$
Do you need the rear bumper to be heavy duty for towing or something? Or are you just after a way of carrying a spare wheel?
My 4wdsystems spare wheel carrier bolts onto the frame - through the standard bumper.
Much cheaper that Kymar or equivalent
It isn't 100% fitted in these pictures but you get the idea. You also can get just the one side.

Or you could modify a body mounted swing out spare wheel carrier as used on 80s or Hilux Surfs

I built mine and i have about $300 in metal, paint, and hardware. I think it turned out pretty good.
His next question will be " will you make me one?"
I like 4x4labs.

I second a call to Jim Beedon at SROR. Great guy, great work, absolutely first class.
