Does anybody know how this is supported in the bumper? I know that the stock rear bumper is weak. I'm wanting to build a tire carrier like this for my 98 Sport but I just don't know how to support it.

I'd have to say, same as Detours Backbone. Behind the stock bumper there is a crap load of reinforcing. The stock bumper is put back on for looks only. And may I say it looks damn nice. Looks really clean & finished.

BTW, Google's Search by Image is fantastic. http://www.google.com/insidesearch/f...chbyimage.html

This one looks nice, but the guy obviously hasn't provided much detail or images of how it's mounted. The plastic bumper cap where the spindle is coming up out of is hollow at that spot, so he must have had to do some serious reinforcing there.
