My last bumper project,what do you think?

[Straightjacket]

Well here's my last bumper project. It's based off a Butch Built design that I'm modifing for personal preferance.This one was built for a rig used in search & rescue,and has high antenna mounts,factory tailight holes,will also hold ice chest,two jerrys,and a spare up to the 38" seen on the rig. A shovel will mount to the back side of antenna mounts with a Quick Fist clamp.





Now back to work on my own rig.

That is one solid bumper puting the jerry gans behind the spare looks to push the 38 out there on the back a ways do you have a picture of the spare mounted? what are you using for pivots?

 

[Straightjacket]

He runs 36"s most of the time,the 38"s are his snow tires. He wanted it to mount up when he got a spare,but will keep a 36" on most of the time. As far as solid,I built one for my dads J**oops and he has pulled a heavily loaded trailer through the Rubicon at least three times with no issues.You can open the spare tire carrier and climb on it and it dosn't even flex.I used 1 1/8" cold rolled for the post,and DOM tubing for the carrier,plenty beefy.No pic of that rig with a spare,but I'll see what I can post up for you.

I like it too, very nice, heavy duty and functional, 2 question.
1- How is it mounted to crossmemeber? Bolted, welded?
2- What about the lic plate?

Nice rack, I'm also in the process. I bet that cruiser has serious tire rub though.

 

[Straightjacket]

It's bolted to the rear of the frame,in ten places. The back of the bumper has 3/8" plate mounts that give spacing over the rivots,and when welded to the bumper give 5/8" of threaded holes.The license plate will be remounted to the sheetmetal under the icechest.It all opens with one adjustable latch.
