Home >> Projects >> Rear Bumper with Tire Swing
 

With over sized tires, it can be difficult to find room on a vehicle to store a spare. Some people use the roof rack, some people throw it in the trunk, some leave it at home, and some use a tire swing. This tire swing obviously required a new bumper as well. This bumper is constructed of 1/8" sheet steel and 1" rectangular tubing. The main frame of the bumper is attached to the stock trailer hitch to make an easy and secure way to mount the bumper. With dark window tinting, it is also difficult to see out the back window, so two 100 watt halogen lights are integrated in the rear panel. Also, two tow shackle receivers are mounted on the bottom side of the bumper for easy recovery.

This website is powered by a custom database driven content management system designed by myself. It is also always under construction. There are probably lots of dead links, maybe I'll have them fixed some day.

I am in the process of moving this site over from synergyfab.com, so please bear with me as I make the shift
