building spare wheel carrier for 60 series

Post by rowan »

howdy- anyone got any pics or ideas of how to make a double swing-away rear wheel carrier using the stock rear bumber? i'm not sure if the steel is thick enough / strong enough. don't want to build a whole new rear bumber. was thinking of maybe bolting some flat bar to the underside of the top of the bumper and using that to support the outer hinge?

I'm pretty sure that 4wd Systems do twin wheel carriers for the 60.

At first I thought it was a sea anemone, upon closer inspection I realised it was a funky ball of tits from outer space.
