spent arround 9 months deciding the type of rear bumper i want.
after watching all kinds of bumpers on the net, i decided to the c-rok but the hitch is to high and the bumper is to simple.
so i want to make my own rear bumper, tire carrier, tow points and hitch.
dont decide yet were and how to bolt it to the frame, but i already started

this are the brackets i made for the bumper, tire carrier and hitch, i think they are strong enought but i dont think the unibody does.
i think iŽll add some extra support

Lookin good so far! Are you tieing it in to the frame rails at all?
I wish I had access to a bender like that, they really save a lot of time.
