FJ55 Rear Swing-Away Bumper

[tyama]

here's mine i did a few years back. It's pretty stout and heavy, heavy. the rack is cheesy but i've been too lazy to rebuild it as it fit's me. You might want to think about weight as it will cut your mph down. I'm getting below 10 with front bumper/ winch and rear bumper & 33x10.50's. No need for a ladder as I can climb on the rack and the tire. I use both the old slee spindle and the ipor. both are nice. You may want to measure the top/bottom measurement of your bumper and get the spindle shaft cut to fit your bumper so you can weld the bottom of the shaft to the floor of the bumper tube. You've got some nice drawings, ty

what's the width on any of your bumpers? i'm doing up some drawings and my 55 isn't here right now

also, what's the height from the top of the bumper to the bottom of the tailgate window. and height from top of bumper to roof?

heres mine to give you an idea of what a 35" tire with dbl cans looks like.

i wish i had a better more straight on view for ya,, but i have removed the cans and centered the tire since the pics.

for reference the tire and cans together just fit inside the lines of the tailgate leaving adequate view of both taillights.
