Got my swing away tire carrier/rear bumper put on from Tactical Armour Group outside Atlanta.

Looks good. What was the cost?

Looks good. What was the cost?

$525 for the bumper W/tire carrier
$25 to add plate light
$25 to add hi lift jack mounts
$90 to add the jerry can mounts

They gave me a 10% military discount off those prices so right at $600

I took a different approach. Found a H2 Hummer rear bumper carrier on Craig's List and modified it. I was lucky and found a new one in Miami for $225. Spent about $50 in steel to reinforce the bumper and about $25 in stainless steel bolts. I had to remove the pintle, however, it worked for me since I'll be adding a trailer hitch next week with a pintle receiver as well.

I like your integrated fulel can bracket. I'm gonna have to go back to the drawing board to see how I can add a fuel bracket on mine.

Looks good.

Shorad93, yours looks good. I was leaning that way but wasn't sure about the stock bumper taking the weight, was thinking about putting a M1008 bumper on it with the H2 tire carrier but didn't have any luck finding a H2 carrier anywhere near me and shipping was doubling the cost. In the end I found this, liked it more and it allowed me to keep my pintle hitch

I actually copied the idea from another member from West Palm Beach Area. I had to reverse engineer "how to" based on several pictures posted here. I did it in 2 weekends and it's worked great. This is my daily driver and I drive it roughly 40 miles daily at 65 to 70 MPH. The stock bumper works great with no reimforcement. Although I have all the pieces bolted, I want to actually weld all the critical pieces for better strength and endurance.

I was very lucky to find this guy that had 2 of these H2 racks just sitting in a garage. otherwise, I was going the same route you did.

looks very good guys, great ideas here. I have the 08 rear bumper and would like to look into this

Anyone on here make a drop down tire carrier? With 37" hummer tires and a 4" lift, I don't want to break my back trying to pick one up high enough to get it on a swing out carrier

ColoradoK5 would be a good place to look for a drop down, a lot of those guys run them.

Here is one

Those H2 spare tire carriers are the best thing going. Much sturdier than and of the aftermarket swingaway units I've seen.
