I was looking at the H2 swing away spare carriers. Looks like they pretty much mount on the bumper. Was wondering if anyone had slapped one (or tried to) on their Blazer?


I picked up an H2 tire carier for $120 on craigslist and mounted it to my bumper. I had to add some lenght to the left end since the spindle and pin lock thingy have to clear the tail gate. This gave me the perfect place to add jerrycans. It holds a 37 just fine.
The main bumper I got off a Ford van at the junk yard for $20. Its 3" tube and had diamond plate on top (I still wanted a step bumper) I did cut a few inches of the frame to tuck the bumber in as far as possibe to minmize departure angle. I added the side armor, reciever and D-rings. The thing people notice the most is the exhaust exit cutout. It really protects the tailpipe quite well. While at the muffler shop I had the guy bend the tube that is on each side. They're not perfect bends but fine and his time bending was free.
Not bad for a couple hundred bucks
