Morning Guys

As per the norm!!! i wanna change the design a bit so i will attach a pic that i found... i want to do some thing similar to this bumper, but under the jerry cans i wanna put a box lockable draw. to carry wood or your recovery tools. it will be wide enough to also act as a step. so in turn it will then become a rear ladder. that you can actually stand on....

i also wanna mount the hi-lift jack behind the spare wheel as then it will be out of the way. let me know your guys feelings

Just note that this particular example in the picture is illlegal and unsafe due to the rear lights not showing.
Especially with what appears to be a 35" tyre.
Make sure there are proper visible lights on the bumper.

I plan on mounting a flush mount all in one round LED brake and Turn Signal light in the bumper with one LED reverse light... something like these....
