    hey guys I bought this what looks to be trail gear rear bumper and I’m guessing home made swing out from someone on craigslist. Cool little bumper, BUT I’m having an issue:

    It didn’t come with a hinge. And I have no clue where to get one that will work.

    For now I just have it bolted up because I need the spare out of the bed of the truck. The previous owner tack welded some 1” square tubing inside of the round tubing.. :confused:

    I’d really appreciate any ideas for a solution.

    Thanks!

    Thanks! I didn’t know what to type into google. Just learned what dual-shear is. Looks like that’s what I need, none of the other ones would work. I was just hoping there was a solution that didn’t involve chopping parts off and re-welding.
