Hi Steve, your kits look pretty damn nice. would you have the time to look at my bronco and possibly have a thought that would be killer looking---- they would defitnitly be narrower, front for sure, because of the body modifications that have been done. Probaly would like something that is'nt much taller than stock. If interested we'll figure out dimentions. Body has no lift. And I promise everybody will know where they came from. Even if I weld them. LOL

Steve there are some pics of the truck in my garage and the photo gallery---I'd send some directly to you but don't know how to do that---I'll work on that.

I'm very interested in the tire carrier but would like to see more pictures. Maybe you're not posting so guys can't copy your design. I understand that. If so can you email some to me? Ill give you my word I will copy design or share pictures with others. $316 is a bit of money to spend on something I can't see if I like the way it functions.

Thanks
Steven

I have built one...and it's on my truck at the moment. Since building that prototype, I've updated the design a lot and went from just supplying the steel parts, to including all the hardware. Those two changes added quite a bit of cost to the carrier.

I'm building the new design now and I'm waiting for a few more parts to come in so I can finish the assembly. Once that's done, I'll post some pictures.

Alternatively, I'm working on a swing-away design now. It's not done yet, but it's coming.

Here are the pictures of the drop down spare tire carrier. The price for these includes the modified and extra parts for the bumper, all hardware (including lug nuts) and a carrier for a high-lift jack. (lock not included)

Adjustable Early Bronco Bumpers!! WIY Kit!

Hello Steve...

You still looking at a swing away tire carrier design? Love the look of your bumpers, but would need swing away for how my Bronco gets used and access tailgate.

Edit: just saw your post on the 22nd... My bad. Looks like your working on it and will be interested to see it.

While I'm working on the swing away tire carrier, I'm also toying with a Street Series bumper set...ultra light weight, no pull points, no winch, no receivers...super-easy assembly and a substantial weight savings.

Stay Tuned!!

I'd like to introduce the "Street Series" bumpers. Smooth, clean lines, lightweight but very strong. No receivers, no pull points and like the rest of the fleet, fully adjustable in height and minor body twist.
Pricing is on the first post.

Progress on the Swing Away...

Thinking on mirroring the design to the drivers side and leaving just the tube to mount whatever. Jerry Can, Cooler, Toilet Seat...whatever blows your hair back.

Opinions?
