4th gen Lightweight rear bumper

Drove up to Wheeler Geological near South Fork, CO this weekend. Rig did great, including winching out of muddy water midway up the doors! However, I now have a big dent in my OEM rear bumper cover. Methinks it is time to consider a new rear bumper.

Has anyone found a lighter weight rear bumper option they like? The only thing I have seen is the True North Fabrication rear bumper, and I'm really looking for something with a more offset tire carrier.

I've been looking around, but most of the options I am seeing are heavy duty, with huge swingout setups.

You pretty much have it covered. Your best bet is to probably find a local fabricator that build something you want - they should be able to reproduce the TNF bumper with the tire carrier located where you want.
