Sweet build man. I love the idea considering that's a cheap alternative considering how much a bumper with carrier cost.

thanks bro n yea that was the whole idea to save some money for another mod. i really want a bumber and tire carrier this year and saved up for it too but then i decided to go with 35s so i needed to or wanting regear, so since i build a carrier for really cheap now i can regear

Again beautiful job. You had some good luck man. the trailer adapter thing, and the whole receiver sits past the bumper. Mine is the opposite and I need to find a way to make the "hinge" it swings on. that just means I get to hack a tow hitch apart.
I was just about to ask about reverse lights... but that's silly. I have a solution for second gens anyway.
