I bought this jeep all built up. It has this rear bumper/tire carrier. The bumper and carrier are both quite old so I dont know if ill get any help. The swing the tire goes on has a giant pin with a key that holds it in place. The swing portion sags a lot and I have to use a hammer to get the pin out to access the back. Does anyone know anything about this rear bumper? What brand? If there is anyway I can rebuild it to use the swing like normal again or should I just bite the bullet and buy a new one?
any help in right direcrion would be amazing thank you all.
Looks like a rubber bushing on the LH side? Take the carrier off and try to get measurements of the bushing, you might be able to find it by dimension. Or just have someone machine one out of brass or something.
Thank yoy very much. The bolt that goes from top to bottom is completelt rusted on the inside and I cannot remove it. I removed the nut from the bottom and tried a sledge, air hammer and a 1/2" impact. Thing is not budging. I soaked it in penetrating lube over night and im goimg to try again. If the brass doesnt help, I was considering cutting it off and welding on a heavy duty hinge kit I found at RPD. 150 is better than 1400 for a new bumper.
