Over the last few months i designed and build a rear bumper and tire carrier for my unlimited
here are some pics, still a few things to do but its almost completly done!
started off with a cardboard mock up


got all the steel plasma table cut from my father inlaws shop and started building






then mounted it up to check for fitment and to take it down for powder coat

got a speeding ticket on the way there....doh!!

all coated and mounted




i have some daystar spare tire bumpers on the way to get some extra support on the bottom of the spare and i wanna paint the spindle cap black.
Hope you all like it!

Looks amazing.

 

Nice Job on the bumper and tire carrier.
Looks great

 

That looks great! I am interested in building my own bumper and tire carrier and i was wondering which spindle you used?

 

i got my spindle from A to Z fab, i also got the lug plate and the latch screw setup from them as well.

 

Did the shop use the cardboard mockup as a stencil to cut out the metal or did you have the design put into a computer program to be cut out?

 

i loaded everything into cad...it came out a little different then i originally designed due to a decade of not using the program...but it still turned out what i wanted!!

 

I was wondering if you could tell me what the cost was to get the steel plasma cut. I am trying to figure out what to expect to pay if I should decide build my own bumpers.

 

kind of hard to say as i got "the family deal"

 

Also the family deal my father in law runs a steel warehouse they have a powder coating setup that could do a small car!! But I would bet normal pricing would be around 50-75 if it's all prepped and a stock color Im going off being quoted 25 a wheel from another company though. I also built my tube doors and had those coated as well
