Default the start nov/28

spent arround 9 months deciding the type of rear bumper i want.
after watching all kinds of bumpers on the net, i decided to the c-rok but the hitch is to high and the bumper is to simple.
so i want to make my own rear bumper, tire carrier, tow points and hitch.
dont decide yet were and how to bolt it to the frame, but i already started .

Cutting metal is the best part! Shearing is easier...but less fun! Looks good!

Default brackets

this are the brackets i made for the bumper, tire carrier and hitch, i think they are strong enought but i dont think the unibody does.
i think iŽll add some extra support

Lookin good so far! Are you tieing it in to the frame rails at all?

I wish I had access to a bender like that, they really save a lot of time.
