Hey guys so i wanted a rear bumper with spare tire carrier/ jerry can holder but i couldn't find anyone that made one. SO.... we decided to build our own. this bumper is going to have dual swing outs that can either hold two spare tires or one spare tire and 1 jerry can holder..



let me know what you think. we should be done with it tomorrow.

Can't wait to see the finished product with all accessories mounted. If nothing else, it a strong bumper that puts the factory offering to shame.

 

Yeah x2 as Tim. That looks awesome. Nice job. That'll really take a beating too. Bet you won't worry to much about backing into to some thing now.
That would look awesome chrome plated IMHO.

 

Looks great, beautiful welds! I'd be a little Leary of having a gas can strapped to the back of my truck on road, the way people drive these days

 

Here is how far we got with it today. we should have it complete tomorrow

I've heard that it was illegal in some areas.

 

and its done (minus paint). also mounted my new RTT

 

Nice piece of work! You kept the body lines nice and straight and the rack over the bed lines up nicely with the roof lines too.

 

And for good reasons I'm sure. Lookin good man!!!

 

dude I was so proud I put LED cubes in my stock bumper. but this is way better so what did it cost to make? and how thick is the steel? and when can we order one for 10% under cost? ok I was kidding on the 10% part

 

They are going to retail for 2k for the base bumper.... and they are ready to order now. they have about a 2 week lead time for them.... ill check the thickness but its way overkill on how tough they are....

 

Ill be closing down this thread... if you want more detailed pictures please PM me........ or you can view my build thread on american adventurist or expidition portal.... same user name.....

 

The thread and discussions are welcome to continue. If anyone wants one, please PM Raul and do so off line.

Again, no advertising or selling on FTE without being a paying vendor.

 

it was more joke then truth, but I owe an apology sorry all.

 

I'd sooner feed like 5,000 starving kids in Africa or wherever then depart with $2,000 for a bumper .....it does look cool though
