spare tire carrier on 1st gen 4runner rear bumper?

I know I've seen several here. Can any body post up some pictures? I just a pic for an idea on were to start building mine. I have a smitty bilt tube bumper. I have to make it swing out and the mounting brackets have to be way on the sides so I can still drop the tail gate.

Any build threads on here for one?

thanks. I am searching as we speak, and I'm also gunna google it...

Subscribed, as I'm interested too.

Have you looked at using the swing out one from the 1980s-early 90s Blazer? Or retrofitting from a second gen 4runner?

Check out iron pig off road, they have a nice DIY self kit,
Edit: at least they use to have one, don't see it on their web site anymore
But this thread on pirate is a good one to read:

They still have it, that's the one I'm thinking of getting for my build. It's listed under the "fabrication" section.
