I did this project because I didn't want to spend the money on a bumper and all the accessories. They are very nice but cost as much as I paid for the vehicle... I also thought I could give back here by providing the process I followed based originally off the one I found on youtube. I can provide all the measurements to save you a lot of time, trial and error. I'm not a fabricator nor is this kind of stuff a business for me.

All that said, I'm willing to duplicate it for someone. There are two catches.

First, it does require welding on the chassis to access the inside of the boxed frame to insert the backing plate and nuts. I don't see any way around it. See picture of corner that must be removed and re-welded. It's no big deal but has to be done.

Second, the center brace was fabricated on the vehicle to match the supports with the weight of the tire in place. I don't believe that's a show stopper but would have to test a theory to be sure.

If anyone is really serious and wants to be a test case, just PM me. We can see if I can do it for a price that's reasonable.

Thanks again for all the positive feedback. I really appreciate it.

Stay tuned for the winch mount...

Chris
Just wondering where abouts are you located ?

What dimensions did you end up going with on the arms that attach to the frame? What size tubing did you go with?

Man I would love to have the blueprints of this project and do it myself. This is something I've been searching for!

This is how it should come straight out the factory!

I like this idea 100x better than tire carriers. I have a Wilco and I can't wait to replace it with something like this, or with a rear bumper. Let us know how sturdy it is when you're offroad. My Wilco bounces around, and I lose so my clearance.

Looks great man!
Similar to how I did mine, IMO so much better than the full bumper options out there.
