That looks almost like the upgraded spare tire carriers we use in the army on the hummers i believe its made by ibistek but same concept. Its looks good and i think it'd be an awesome addition to the already bad ass offroad look of your truck

i thought about getting that. i think i saw it on the "other" forum. the only thing i didnt like was the tire mount tilts so it rests against the glass, if i remember correctly.

yeah thats what im getting, but from what the guy said that bought it he said you can ask them to make it stright up and down. cause anything bigger then a 33 wont fit. so you need to make it up and down. i want that and with hitch and 2 jerry can holders. so im saving up for that.
Is it just me? or is that kinda Fugly? It looks strong, but couldnt someone with some skills make something a little cleaner looking than that? I mean, you got a pretty sweet ride and do shows right? I would like to see something made and countored out of some big round tubing and painted body color or something. I'm just sayin. lol

i think black is better. and it looks weird with the hitch down there, but the guy who has one it looks really good. his has the intergraded hitch so its better looking. i like it. looks beefy and it can handle a tailgater no problem.

problem is finding someone that could make a better one.... and the few choices expy's have for a rear bumper.... my roll pan was for a F150 and Dgray69 and I made it fit..... not the prettiest but it is on there... gonna tweak it this spring when I paint it black.... but I need somewhere to keep a full size spare and really don't wanna put a 37 in a roof basket... be a pain to take down...lol

i agree a 37 is the roof basket could be a pain to get up and down and i think these things are top heavy enough

That is a tough looking bumper.
You're right. That would suck. Plus, that would use up most of the space in a roof basket anyway.
I was thinking about something more along the lines of this:

okay okay. once i take my welding classes next semester ill start building stuff. front bumper first. then ill do rear bumper and give everyone dimensions or make a diy kit that i could send. you pay for material and shipping a little of the work i do and it most likely wouldnt be to much. or ill even make a few different designs and you can let me know which one you want.

I WANT ONE!!!!! I dont like the stock rear bumper and drop down tow hitch, especially with my prerunner look sitting 2 inches lower in the back. A buddy of mine took an expedition and made a spare tire mount that attached to the third row seat mounting points and had a 35 sitting at a 45 degree angle and I must say it looked pretty good and he also just ditched the whole rear hatch(along with any security he might have had)

a tire doesnt way THAT much. you might just be getting old dgray! i lifted my uncles 35 or 37, dont remember what he has on his heep, spare with steel rim by my self. and the top of that tire is at eye level to me just about, while the bottom of the tire is at eye level for my uncles. haha okay hes not that short, but still enough to have his steering wheel all bend out of shape from him every time he gets in and out of the heep. ahah
