q-rover Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 Hello esteemed forumeers and fabricators. I am unlucky enough not to have the facilities or fabrication skills to make what I am looking for. Which is something like this Rear bumper/ spare carrier There are also some more pictures on Rockrover Now I have contacted most of the commercial fabricators of bumpers, rollcages, etc that advertise in the mags, but no one is interested. So does any one here fancy a challenge, or know of someone that would be willing to have a go? Owners in the US and Australia seem to be catered for, but freight from there makes this project too expensive. Why can't someone in the UK have a go? Unfortunately I and my vehicle are based in Norway, but I am sure there is a willing soul in the UK to 'lend' their vehicle as a template. Any tips, ideas appreciated.

SteveG Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 What have you done so far? I replaced the twin rear silencers with straight through pipe and then trimmed the plastic on the bumper. The existing bumper is pretty heavy duty already and takes a lot of knocks. I went down this route as I reasoned I could easily get more bumpers from breakers if I needed too and it did the job well... For the oversized spare, I simply made up a false floor. This work for the 245/75's shown and for the 33" 255/85 16's I fitted after this pic was taken.. The front needed a custom bumper though..
