Talk to me about this

The bumper is 3/16 x 3 x3 inch, the swing out arm is 3/8 x 3 x 3 inch, the center 3 x 3 for the tire mount is 3/16 inch and the outside framing is 1/8 x 3 x3 inch.

The spare tire will be offset about 3 inches to the drivers side to keep the spacing an even 15 inches on both side for gas cans. This leaves me room to fill the Jeeps gas tank with out opening the bumper. Since I have a glass body the pass side gas filler is higher than stock due to reinforcing of the glass body.

I think the gas cans will be between the spare tire and a flip up or down table on the inside of the rack.

I was thinking maybe a small winch somewhere on top of the framing to lift the spare tire. I'm getting older and my youngest daughter has her eye on my Jeep someday.

I don't care about looks as long as it works for me,I still need to cut everything so the squares will be only big enough for a gas can. Thoughts, suggestions what do you think????
