    After some searching I couldn't find any vendors that make a rear bumper with an integrated hi-lift mount. I would love to secure the 60" hi-lift some place out of the way, and the rear bumper seems like a perfect place to put it. I'm not talking about just bolting the hi-lift to the top or back of the bumper, I'm thinking about a bumper that is designed to keep all or most of the hi-lift recessed into or behind the face of the bumper. Has anybody seen anything like that? Do any vendors make such a thing?

    I checked out their website but I don't see any bumpers that have what I'm talking about. I'm not referring to putting the hi-lift on the swing-out tire carrier, I mean putting the hi-lift horizontal into the bumper itself. There wouldn't be much room to recess the license plate, but maybe a little bit. Maybe something like two parallel pieces of 2 inch square tubing, with enough of a gap to mount the hi-lift between them so that the hi-lift is mostly flush with the rear face of the bumper.

    Yea I see what you mean. Here's the bumper he's working on. the hi lift will be mounted on the swing out. He has some bolts under the gas can mounts and spare that's where the hi lift would be mounted. I guess we'll see how it looks after its installed.

    Just thought I'd revive this thread to see if anybody has any good ideas. I was thinking about trying to fabricate a rear bumper that can hold a 60" hi-lift, maybe use two pieces of 4" square tubing, parallel and just far enough apart to put the hi-lift in the middle with some sort of brackets welded on to secure it. Anybody ever seen or made something like that? Right now I've got way too many projects going on but it seems like some of the armor fabricators around here would have thought of something like this already.

    enough to go over stuff
    Im sure @RelentlessFab would add it for you if you asked nice. That's the benefit of a small shop. He will build what you want after you order.
