FL SOLD: Custom Rear Tube Bumper with hidden hitch and drop down tire rack

[AugustDiesel]

Built this myself a few years ago. It’s made from a combination of 2” and 1.5” x .120 wall DOM. Now that I’m rebuilding my truck, I want to experiment with a different design for the rear bumper. The spare tire rack can hold up to a 40” spare with an 8x6.5 wheel bolt pattern and includes a license plate mount. The tire rack originally latched to the roof rack, which made it super sturdy, but I have since sold the roof rack so you’ll need to figure out a new latch or you can cut the tabs off the bumper and not run a tire rack. It’s a high clearance bumper, so trimming of the rear quarters will be required. I built this for a suburban so it should work for other burbs and blazers, not sure about pickups though. Includes a 2” hidden receiver hitch. I’m in Jacksonville Fl and it’s heavy, so consider shipping costs.

Very flexible on price, really just don’t want to scrap it, but I will if no one snags it up.

I'm glad you found someone to use it.

Me too. It’s on its way to a fellow suburban brother on the other side of the continent

I didn't want to say this earlier, but the spare tire holder looks like a work out to me. I want to build something like that for our coach but the isn't a door or a tailgate so I would only need to use it when the coach had a flat or rotating tires.

It was, which is why I had a winch on the roof rack lifting it up

I still have the tire rack, but it’ll either be scrapped or repurposed … I have a few ideas.

I like that setup...very close to something I'm working on for mine. Id take that tire rack in a second if you weren't on the other side of the country. I'm trying to counterbalance mine to avoid the workout...we'll see how it works.

I still have the tire rack, if you want it.

Your burb is badass. Do you have a build thread on here?

He certainly does have a great build thread. Episodic even if you read it from page 1. https://ck5.com/forums/builds/the-redburb.518/

Haha, thanks dude! I was just about to share the link.

Thank you for the kind words. Lots of content in the thread. It has a bit of a ship of Theseus feel to it.

Funny this popped up. I bought the bumper and am finally starting to install it between the rain. Hopefully have it on by the end of the week.
