custom front+rear bumpers

I have a 93 and was wondering if anyone knows of a company that sells custom bumpers with tire rack-swing carriers, fuel can holders and a built in reciever hitch? Or someone who sells stuff like the hinges or latches I'll need to make one. Also if you maybe know of a website with pictures or designs to make one. Thanks

I'm getting ready to build my own bumpers myself. I'm thinking of making ones similar to the custom bumpers at JBG. It looks rather simple if you know how to work with steel. Also it will cost far far far less to do it myself plus i can incorporate extra things i like.

I live in Delaware. I have a couple friends with welders so I'm sure I can make it but can't find some of the stuff like a strong hinge pin for the swing tire carrier. Also I'd like to get some more Idea's on designs from people who make or sell them. Any Idea's?

I finally lifted my Bronco yesterday and was wondering about the same thing. Infact I was about to post the same question. I have 35's now and no way will that flimsy thing on the back work. Desert Rat told me that nobody carries a rear bumber tire carrier for a Bronco.

There was a guy that went to my church that drove a ram charger. He hit something and messed up his front bumper. A couple of weeks later he shows up with a custom made wood bumper. It was the funniest thing I had ever seen. I guess he did not want to fork out the money for steel? He better not hit anything again! Just an idea but I would not do it!

I lifted my truck a couple of months ago too, and I'm also lookin for a carrier for my 35" too. Right now I have my stock tire on, just for the hell of it, but no way that is going to do me any good.... Hope someone has some options for a rear bumper + tire carrier.
