First setup had a spare tire carrier mounted on the bumper.. It worked well but with the 38x15.5 tire slamming down on stuff took its toll on it.
|
|
|
it was holding the truck up here. i rocked it back and forth to try to get off which caused the steel to tear. Couldnt get off so i had to be pulled uphill.
|
|
|
after a long day of wheeling and bouncing around we decided to rip the carrier off.. took a bit but we managed to remove it.
|
|
|
some pictures of the bumper.. Its real strong. i welded my fender tubing directly to it.
|
|
|
and another.. its got a hitch tube on it as well.
|
|
|
the d-ring setup is also really strong.. it actually goes through the bumper and is the piece that connects to the frame.

|
view from the back. its got the stuff back there for the safety chain.
|
|
|
all 3 holes lined up perfect. IF you have a 92-96 bronco contact big mike for one of these bumpers..
|
|
|
so the tires were kinda big before. .now with the 42x15" tires on hummer beadlock wheels its way too heavy.. so the plan was to turn it into a gas and water can holder.
|
|
|
first thing i did was redo the tubing where the can holder would be welded to. i also moved the hi-lift mounts from the side to the bottom..
|
|
|
they sit snugly in this holder i made out of 2x2x 1/4" thick angle.....
|
|
|
welded it to the swing out carrier.
|
|
|
side view.. doesnt stick out much.
|
|
|
view from the bottom. the cans are pretty well protected if i land hard on something..
|
|
|
made this to hold the cans in. got the idea from a member on www.fullsizebronco.com
|
|
|
has a hinge and swings open. when its closed you can put a lock on it to keep it secure..
|
|
|
shows the carrier open and the tailgate down. works pretty good.
|
|
|
Painted them white to kinda go with the bronco. painted the handles. red for gas and blue for water. Was given a set of locks which fit the carrier really well.
