Impressive.... That did come out looking very nice How much time was involved in it and what did your final cost on that end up being? It may be the angle of the shot but the only thing I noticed was the tire carrier is not parallel to the bumper... seems to sag a little towards the non-hinged end. But looking very good nonetheless.
Wish I was talented enough or had the resources to do something like that
Good job!

I'm waiting for the clamp for the tire carrier, now I have to use a 3/4 socket in order to open the carrier 
but that's the easy part don't you think?

Good job!Yes, the tire carrier is parallel to the bumper, the angle is a little tricky I think
Thanks for the comments

The carrier is DEFINITELY not parallel to the pivot point bushing. Whatever angle you look at it, the other end is damn close to hitting the upper portion of the bumper. Looks GREAT! GREAT work! But I think there is a lot of strain on the hinged portion that you might need to look at. Too much leverage might cause it to tear away, soone or later. Plus, why didn't you add another triangulation to the left of the tire?

, the Title says "final product" but it is almost finish just two more parts to add (jerry can mount and clamp for the carrier) and voila ! Thanks for your comments
