Ive done my forum searching and my googling and have not been able to find anything similar to the rear bumper Im looking for.

A few times while around the bay area (CA), Ive seen maybe two 5th gens with what looks like a stock bumper that has an integrated tire swing out. This is not the hitch style and from what I can tell, not the normal replacement rear bumpers. I say this, because the stock plastics are all around the swing out that looks integrated into it.

Unfortunately Ive either been on my motorcycle when Ive seen it, or driving and unable to take a picture.

Im hoping someone on this forum knows what Im talking about.

Thanks.

You peaked my curiosity. If it is not a hitch carrier, then it might be a low profile DIY or custom bumper. Someone in my area has a DIY (maybe Coastal Offroad) that they powder coated to match, so it looks stock. But it is not plastic.

There are a few fabricators who do this in SoCal that I know of. They basically weld the swingout to the rear crossmember then cut holes in the stock rear bumper to accommodate it. As far as I know, the first one to do it was Ryuji at @ipm_fab on Instagram, but I dont know if he still does them. Another who does quite a few of them now is @ nickdeyatnight. Im sure there are more and any fab shop could probably do it, but these are the ones I know.

Yes! Those are pretty much exactly what I remember seeing.

Thanks a bunch.

I really dig these. I hope they make them and ship. I messaged the first one on IG but nothing yet.

There is a guys who did this but with a tire carrier made for a Jeep.
