This was the very quick build I did a while back when I discovered I no longer had a rear frame cross member and the body was pretty much holding the back together.
It was quick but it is solid. It will bolt into the factory 5 bolt holes (2 of which are the body mount). I added a swing out to it a couple years later with my special locking mechanism on it and it has a lock for the open position. It's got surface rust, it has some gouges and scratches, it needs a good cleaning and a spray job. You will might need to remove or alter the rear cross member to put it on (don't remember if it will fit with it in place) or need to cut some gussets on the bumper to make it work. Regardless it will be much stronger than the rear cross member ever was.
I will even throw in the 35" spare .....which I would not trust on long trips as a back up to get you home safely.
$150 ....and a six pack, something like Stella or similar.
For some reason mud is having issues uploading pics.....stand by...
