Built myself a rear bumper
Well I've wanted a rear tire carrier for a while now i didn't reall want a off the shelf swing out and I wanted it to be a stinger . So I built my own.flip down For now I just bolted plates to my rear hatch with a slightly bigger tube so it will slide in and it's held with a pin but as you can see I also started my exo 
so once I get that going it will attach to that. All I need now is some pant and fab something up for my licensee plate and light

Looks awesome.
How's it tied into the rear and hatch (I know you said bolted, but just bolted through the sheet metal or is there plate on the back too)?
Really love the look of the fold down carriers, but I use my cargo area too much to mess with one every time.

Good work man. A little worried about denting in the hatch if you back into something or someone rear ends you. Any annoyance when trying to access the cargo area?
I just saw the off-camber sticker, then that you are from yakima. I am Lead Foot (Kris Froehlich) on there.
