fab. up some bumpers help

[XJames]

last summer/fall fab. up a look alike pro-farm front prerunner bumper, but changed it to my liking, thats whats best about making your own stuff. now I have really had my eye on the rock runner gen2 rear bumper from t and t customs (www.tntcustoms.com) but im sure it's to expensive, so im planning on fab.in one up but i also want to change it to have a rear 2'' receiver, that would be easy. I also want/ will be adding a rear swaying tire carrier. but im not sure on the right design to do this. with it being a tubular bumper. and also having the quarter panel wrap around taillight saver thing. and still be able to open the back ha ha. any ideas?

Make sure you don't make it swing-DOWN!! I thought I would save a bunch of money, in which I did, but crap that thing was heavy. Dumb decision #1,342.

The only good thing about dereks was he had a bump stop in case he started to flip backwards.

yeah i saw this picture over in the "i made ______ for my jeep". topic, and thought that exact thing how heavy that would be. I think i have a couple ideas but we'll see. wont be for couple months still before i get motivated.

I did build it so if I backed into a tree it wouldn't fold like a pretzel. However I did find that 1/8 would have been more than sufficient, and would have made quite a difference in weight.
