Default Custom Cherokee Tire Carrier - Built by SBF

Thought I'd show off my new rear bumper really quick. I foundationally designed it and had it built by Rob at SBF in Gig Harbor, WA. It also ties in directly to the fuel tank skid plate for extra strength for towing and rigidity. It looks kind of funny with my 30x9.5 tire on it for now, but I am working on my lift and looking forward to 36's down the line and designed the carrier arm to accept that as the maximum tire size. My favorite feature of all is how the arm "flows" into the bumper when closed. I'll get some more shots up later on, but here's some teasers for now!

That is the best looking bumper I've ever seen. Tell him to make me one free of charge, I'll pay for shipping and show it off to everyone here in AZ. haha

Could you get some pics with the tire off? I wanna see what the mount looks like.

As requested, just please excuse the rain. Also, just to fit the stock rim and have the hatch opperational I had to use about 1.75 inches of spacer until I go with a deeper offset.

I think he will if he gets enough interest and can do them in a batch so that he can save on labor. He invested a ton of hours into getting mine finished as it was the prototype and still considered completely custom.

Thanks for all of the compliments guys! I'm glad people like my design (granted I drew inspiration from about every other bumper out there).

If anyone's interested, I'll be selling my factory towing kit that was removed to facilitate this installation. I'll post it in the correct section once I have enough posts and put a link here.
