    No sir, I purchased it from the original owner in Houston. He owned a shop down the street from where my parents worked so I saw it and snaggged it up about two and a half years ago.

              Been a hot minute since I updated but I finished the bumper and it turned out so much better than i could've ever expected. Threw some nice paint (with a TON of flake) we had left over from our trailer build last year. Natrally it got painted the night before show. Had some hiccups like leaving the primer on all day before realizing it needed a hardener so we had strip it all down which is what led to painting it at 8 the night before. But I went ahead and showed it at the Katy Ag Mech Show the next day and somehow walked away with reserve grand against some nice trailers. This has definetily been one of my more time consuming build but I am more than happy with the way it came out. The last photo is a picture of how close the tailgate comes to the bumper and and the piece of flat strap I used to cover that nasty gap bumpers on broncos have since the bumpers have to hang so low because of how thick the tailgate is.

                  Do you happen to live in Nottingham Country? I have seen your Bronco before when me and the wife were out walking. If so you only live down the street from me. lol

                  Nice job on that bumper!

                      I live on the east side of the Bayou prob half a mile from your house. lol

                      I posted a sticker sighting one time of your bronco, trying to figure out who it was.

                        Awesome work! Got questions.
                        Where did u get the swing hinges?
                        What size square tube did you use for the tire swing?
                        Where did u get the red handle catch assembly?
                        Thanks.

                          I used 3/16 2x3 for the frame of the tire swingaway and 3/16 2x4 for spacers to push the tire off the rack a little bit. I got the hinges and latches off comp4x4.com but be ready to drop some coin on them because they aren't cheap.
