Topic: Tire Carrier Rear Bumper

[Gewehr43]

Want some ideas for building a rear bumper with a swing out tire carrier bumper.  My truck is an '82 4x4LB with a shell on it.  I like the shell, hence the reason for the bumper idea.   

Post pictures, drawings or whatever.  I have some scrap steel I can start using to build one.

I'm looking to build a swing-out tire carrier off of a rear tube bumper.  Anybody have any designs on how to mate a swing-out hinge to round tubing?

I'm actually trying to figure how to mount one of those hinges to a tube bumper similar to a Marlin bumper.  I've seen hinges used in square tubing bumpers but haven't seen one in a round tube bumper.

make a sleeve for that out of the next size up and weld em together, then notch the bottom of the sleeve so it fits cleanly over whatever piece of tube on the MC bumper. if that made sesnse...
