I had the same idea and swapped electrical work for this rear bumper and carrier.

One thing we did was tilt the tire in so it is parallel with the glass, that makes a huge difference because when you pull both pins, it just stays there.

I've got it torn apart in the garage doing the finish work on it. I'll get some pics when it's done.

That's PERFECT!! i like how you continued that top tube into the rail on the 1/4 panel. And thats great advice on tilting the tire in! I adjusted my plans accordingly, im going to try and get this down to the fab shop this month.

Loving the stinger/carrier combo. I wish I had the fab/drafting skills to come up with something like this.

Can't wait to see a finished product come to fruition.
