My FJ60 needs a rear tire carrier bumper. Suggestions?

Hopefully 4plus painting process has improved. My rear bumper paint peeled off after the first AZ winter.

It has held up well. It’s been 5 years. No complaints. @lcwizard’s work is top notch.
 
I have a Dobinson bumper. I like it and the price was right. Plus as it is lighter weight, you keep the rear cross member in place.
Holds one fuel can (may never be used as I have a long range tank) and the spare.
That is a 32" on there. All of the LED's in the bumper work as well.

4Plus bumpers are real nice, but I could not get my wife to part with the cash for the rear and the front bumper. She said find a better solution, or get only one.
Needed the front bumper as the deer in Virginia are crazy and with the LRA tank, where was I putting my spare.

@TRAIL TAILOR makes some high quality stuff from mild to wild. He's pretty busy these days though

I've bought a few things from him for my FZJ80. Very, very high quality items. I'm in the que for a custom bumper. No swingouts, but with holes pre-drilled for when I change my mind. The picture below is from his website and is exactly what I asked for. I'll get it painted/powder coated myself...

Thanks guys. I will have a new production rear out soon to match my new front. Still a few weeks out.

I thought you stopped making bumpers?


I sold my designs and signed a 12 month non compete. But they keep coming back asking for help and more files on parts I made for them so after the 7-8th time I finally said I'd give them files and help but they had to waive the non-compete. So, Nov 15th I'm free to make new designs.

@TRAIL TAILOR, once you get the reins back, will you be selling any kits?
 
Those are expensive. I’d like to build my own after my swap.
They are all pricey. I don’t have the welding skilz, so buying a 4x4 labs rear 8 years ago was my only option.
In falls under one of many mantras I try to live by. If you can’t make it yourself.
“Buy once, cry once.”
 
He is with 1/3 @ Horno, right now he is out on a float. 13th MEU he should be back in February. i just picked him up a 4x4Labs rear bumper this past weekend. i will install it this weekend and add it to his build thread.
You’re only 1.5 hours away.
See I’m not the only one awake early. Lol
Yup, I was Fox Co 2/1 I was it was a boat company, 2000-2003. then 2003-2005 with 1/4 CAAT PLT for the Iraq invasion. Both out of Horno ( the oven).
I was stationed on the steam’n Clevland for two of my MEUs.
I wish him a safe return.
