thats looking really good so far!!

what else you plan to hold on the bumper? jerry can, hi-lift,etc?

FindlayJeff · Dec 18, 2011

Yeah Jerry can and high lift is in the last pic

Nice job... if I would have thought ahead of time I would not have flush mounted mine to the body so I could allow for a spindle for a swing away tire carrier.....

FindlayJeff · Dec 18, 2011

Oh forgot to add cooler holder with Jerry cans under

That's lookin awesome. Can you show a close up of how you made the latch. Here is mine which is really close to yours but I don't like the way my latch turned out.

Sorry, don't know how the superman picture (Ford Man) got in there?;D

FindlayJeff · Dec 18, 2011

Yeah I'll get you a pic I drilled a hole in the bumper and welded in a nut flush the made my own wing nut on top of a bolt

That looks really solid. It would be a little slow to open but you won't have to worry about it coming open by accident while driving.

That looks good, makes me want to redo mine:-[

On average what did it cost to build yours?

I have less than $150 in materials for front and rear.

Bumper build looks great. That is some really nice work. where is the best place to buy the hardware for you swing out carrier? I am looking for a hinge and the latch. I would like the cam over style latch. Thanks

FindlayJeff · Dec 19, 2011

Yeah I might redo the latch. I'll do the toggle latch. And as far as price goes I am pretty luck my father in law owns a strucial steel company so all steel was free. The hinge was twenty bucks I had it made. It's a trailer spindle and the hub is a peace of thick wall tube with the inside machined out for the rises for the bearing.

With your CT background I thought i was going to see something made out of guard rail.JK
