New rear bumper

I couldn't find what I was looking for so I build one, hitch, winch mount, swing out for spare and hi-lift. Still have a couple things to finish it but I'll run like this for a while.

Looks good! Can't wait to see more photos and details of how you put it together.

This is exactly the bumper I want. Stupid Central Valley has no decent fab shops that I can find so far.

thanx. I didn't snap many but here are a couple. It's 3/16ths cut from plate using a Milwaukee saw. Lots of little pieces. The hinge is a 3/4" bolt with 3"x1" seemless w/sleeves from home depot

Hinge. drilled bolt head for safety wire. Nut is welded inside bumper



swingout. Got sloppy when marking/drilling holes. Main beam 2x2x1/8, uprights 1.5x1.5x1/8




warped the swingout pretty bad when welding the foot for the jack and had to cut the main beam and weld in back together
