I hope to build one.
Planning to use tire carrier parts from AtoZfabrication (look at the section called "DIY fabrication builder parts")
They have a heavy duty hinge that looks nice.
If you do a search you can find some more ideas.

HD Customs is making a cool rear and gate. The bumper has a rear warn winch (the winch sits under the jeep inside the bumper armor). The gate has a winch to lower the tire/wheel to the ground. The gate is a one hander.
I tried to copy in some pics but couldn't figure out how to do it. I'll post em when it is done.

I used 3/16" thick flat steel for the main part of the bumper. I had this bent at a fab shop into a 6"X8"X2" piece. The ends are made from 2"X6"X1/4" steel tube that I split in half. So the ends are 1"X6". The main beam of the tire carrier is 2"X3"X3/16". The rest of the carrier is 2"X2"X3/16". I made my own mounts, so I don't know about AtoZ fabs mounts.
