has anyone made r seen a carrier made thatll work around or in conjunction with the stock rear bumper. swing out or flip down?

 

http://www.detoursusa.com/tailbone.php i dont have this one but i have seen people who do

 

i figured if you tied it into the mounts it should be plenty strong enough for at least a 31 but im just not sure how to about doin it. and ive seen a few flip downs that go into the receiver hitch but i dont want it rattlin around back there

if a rear bracket was made to go through the stock bumper and made strong enough then it could be dont. would have to cut a slit or 2 in the bumper to make it fit. pm me or call me i can make you one. 501-545-7452 justin

 

yea i seen that one but for the price a might as well just buy a whole bumper its kinda steep. although i could make it i figure for about 100 bucks r so

 

Yeah if you can fab one of your own you'll definitely save some bones that way. Let us know what you do.

 

alright im still kinda stuck on the receiver hitch design though id just like to find a way to keep it from rattlin and wobblin

 

I was actually thinking about this same question today too!!! Lol! I work tomorrow thru Monday so I'm gonna stare at my bumper sometime in the next few days and let you know what I come up with

 

There's a factory swing out tire carrier at my local junkyard. Actually, there's 2 of them. There's a mount that goes on the passenger side underneath the corner of the rear window and a mount on the bumper. I was gonna grab it, but it's too snowy to crawl under it to unbolt everything. I'd imagine if you searched your local junkyards you could find one and probably scoop it up for under $50 and that's if it's a pricey place.

 

Do those stock guys fit 33s? seen it done before i think. What about a 12.50 width?

 

I think those tire carriers are only good for 31's and not much bigger. then it just gets a little too heavy.

 

there are zero here locally for the stockers. I have heard that over time even with the weight of a stock tire it can start tearing itself loose.

 

i have one on my jeep. came with it... but its basicly just a peice of flat bar to the body and the stock bumper. idk if that makes any sense. i can take some pics if ya want!
