build looks great i too will be starting my bumper/tire carrier in the summer,i just want the bumper to come out about half an inch on both ends so i can weld plates on each ends to protect the lower quarters.

Default unirails extra support

it was a pain in there to design some extra support from the unirails, and i dont have pics today but it has more support from the "unibody" when painting i´ll show you, and behind the hitch has welded a piece of that kind of "hinge i used" for the tire carrier. and a bolt that traspases the unibodie.
this thing is bomb proof and it is very heavy.
tire=70lbs
tire carrier=50
bumper=100

I for one like it. Looks plenty heavy, with good attachment points.

I also envy that your bumper unbolts from the brackets. The one I am building is all one pice, so its gonna be a pain taking it on and off. Once it goes on it aint comming back off unless the rest of the jeep is totaled.
