    I hope this isn't a re-post but i'm trying to get some ideas for designing a rear tube bumper and what style to go with. Throw up some pictures of what you've got and what you like/don't like about it!

    Built in tire carrier is a plus, but i'm trying to not cut into the bed yet.:cool:

    The one in post #9 is sweet. Tube bumpers have to address those fugly corners on the bed when the stock bumper is removed. Looks like crap on the corners without some sort of coverup. I once saw pics of some color matched fiberglass fill pieces for the corners but have never seen them since and don't know who makes (or made) them.
