Default Tire Swing bumper

Found a new design for a tire swing out.

Looks pretty nice especially if you want to keep a stock appearance.

I have been looking at this on NAXJA and they say it hooks into the frame and is super strong. It's Def. a great looking product.

I like that is about 2-300 bucks cheaper than the usual tire swing out bumper.

It's mine as soon as tax money gets here. Here's a lengthy thread about it. He's only an hour away, so no shipping charges for me.

He's also making a light bar for the stock bumper. I'm going to snag one of those up to.

Looks good at a great price, but not to be the little black rain cloud here. How we will it hold up bolting to the "stock" bumper bolt holes? Seems to me that added flex from a spare would cause uni-body cracking. I'd want something with more support ran along say where the resse hitch would mount. That's just my view on it. Other than the may it's mounted looks like a very nice setup..

I've been looking at their backbone front bumper system for a while now, and this product would be the perfect compliment to that! Their prices are very nice, and the ability to keep the stock bumpers in place is very aesthetically pleasing too. Adding this to the want list for sure!
