[QUOTE="TreeClimber, post: 1144815, member: 16101"] Main bumper made from 2x4 rectangular tubing, .250 wall. Bolts to frame using 8 factory holes (four on each side). Holes enlarged from 3/8 to 1/2 bolts. Hinge pin for swingout tire carrier is hunk of 1.5 DOM tubing in .250 wall thickness. Hinge pivot is piece of 1.75 wall DOM tubing in .120 wall thickness (with inside diameter juuusst slightly larger than 1.50). Grease zirk tapped. Pivot is welded top and bottom, as is pin. Swingout is piece of 2x3 rectangular in 1/8 thickness, with 1.5 (120wall) round tubing bent into a inverted U, with an upright made out of 1.75 round tube (also 120wall). Total cost about $50, plus misc. scrap steel I had lying around. Had to buy just the 3 lamps (about $25) and $15 for the pieces of 1/4 wall round tubing. (I had the box tubing) Couple of extra bucks for stuff. There are two latches, a lower one as a primary latch and an upper one to prevent rattling /vibrations in the tire. [/QUOTE]
