my custom tire/fuel carrier build using stock bumper

Very creative idea and impressive work/design. This is an idea I'd love to show my welder/fabricator for myself. Great job! I like your idea of a DIY kit for this set up for those who are interested in fabricating their own.
 
Good job...

I have a plan to possibly do something similar at some point. I will cut much more bumper cover though and gain more clearance and durability with the option to remove the hitch. I don't mind having the factory steel bumper itself exposed... The spindles would also be mounted higher.

I've got the basic sub structure in place now. I just decided to avoid the swing outs until I had more time to work on it I also need to get a tube bender... I had to get these bent for me... It's on the list.. can't keep bothering friends... as I need one often.

Also, check out what [MENTION=118321]Jetboy[/MENTION] did here... http://www.toyota-4runner.org/5th-g...t-minimalist-rear-bumper-protection-bolt.html

Damn... you guys inspire me to try to build something myself, which could be good or really bad (most likely really bad). :lookout:

I like that! Very clean looking!!
 
I said the same thing. Had an idea in my head and I said to myself "this will be really awesome, or really horrible!" Haha!
Things like this usually make me build it myself. Then after trying and realizing it looks like a third grader did the design in crayon, I order something aftermarket! :shrug:
 
That view though! Haha. What aftermarket cameras are people using for their rear bumper set ups? Good news is, I'm learning how to use my mirrors again!! You don't realize how some technology creates bad habits over time.

Love it! Funny thing is I've been planning the same thing for a month or 2 just don't have the balls to cut into my bumper. Youtube is blocked at work did you make it bolt on or just weld it on?
