Ok, there are two options for the mounts: the first is with four or six bolts along the side axis of the bumper, but i am not sure of the space i have to operate a wrench.

Well I actually do it all on my free time at work!
But you could buy them...or get them bootleg from the internet.
I got lucky when i was in college and got all bootleg copies from my profesor.
You could also use some student versions... I think.

Pro/engineer is an expensive software. It works with a floating license (only on internet, and only during work hours). I too do this when i am at work. Inventor is a much more affordable software.

The bumpers look great. Im in my third year of engineering and we used soildworks. I got a boot legged copy from my teacher. I keep asking him to help me make that different angles but our schedules never match up. After reading all these im going to hunt him done tomorrow and paly with it. I have started a bunch of bumpers and have got stuck. Looks great. Thanks for the ideas.

nice bumper. good to see someone actually building one. wish i had the time and money. On that rear bumper i would suggest that design but i would say bolt the frame pieces to the bumper then slide the whole works in and plate the frame section where your gonna bolt it through. that way you can completely disasemble it if you want/need to. oh and make thouse long angle pieces box tubing to strenghen the "frame rails"

Sorry to jump in late, I have been looking at ideas for fabing up my tire mount. Here in Washington State, we have to have the Liscense plate clearly visable and lit up. All the ideas I have found place the tire dead center or more to the passanger side. Why not have it pivot on the driver's side and stay out of your view as you are looking over your right shoulder? (Less blind spot and less stress on your pivot point)

i blew off my CAD class... made an A in it though... lol... even was able to download the free "school" version which i deleted after that quarter... which i wish i had now... lol... anyway my rear bumper i built into the frame rail... use 2x4 square tube... slides right in... youll need to cut the shackle bolt with a long sawzall blade.. it sticks out like an inch inside the frame... also dont forget about the fuel tank filler tube... its in the way on the drivers side so you can only go so deep... deep enough though... i used a thick tube and drilled holes where there reciever was for my mounting bolts... just so yall can figure that into your drawings...
