Custom steel rear bumper build. (started)

[Kevlar7R]

Hey man, I got started on mine... But I dont like the way part of mine came out. How did you do your hinge and your latch? Parts you bought somewhere?

This is where I got the swing out tire carrier spindle and latch.

I bought the tire carrier kit for $100

Here's the link to my swing out tire carrier thread...

Where's the picture's man, you gotta start a build thread for the rest of us to see the progress.

Well dang, I missed that thread. I just ordered the same kit. My builds on hold till it arrives. I'll post pictures then. For now, my bumper is just a piece of 6"x2"x1/4" c channel. I did get the hitch installed in the center though.

thats the same setup im running Kevlar, just c channel with an intergrated hitch. Very tough, got rear-ended pretty hard and barely moved the bumper
