Rear 3rd Gen Bumper Pics

need a tube bender, but I'm going to Amsterdam in a week so the sides and the hingemight not be completly finished till I get back...
I think I'm gonna get a removable tirecarrier using one of 4x4Labs removeable spindles

I wish I was going to Amsterdam!!!!!!!!! When you get back you might be shopping for a new brain as well as the tube bender. I'm just kidding and jealous as hell. Have a good trip! Nice Bumper!!
