We are wondering what to build next. Having several calls a week asking for a swingout carrier for the back bumper we want to take a poll and see exactly what you are looking for. In our opinion based on the size and strength of the OEM rear door hinges, we dont believe a rear tire carrier option is necessary as most prople are only running a 1"-3" larger tire than the stock 32" the vehicle is equipped with from the factory. That being said, we would rather look at a swingout to hold Jerrycans, a Hi-Lift Jack, Powertank, or whatever you want to carry back there, and leave the spare on the rear door where it fits fine and doesnt require a possible redesign of the entire rear bumper. Please vote on what ytou would like to see and if you have additional comments, please post up what they are - WE ARE LISTENING!
This swingout, if produced, will ONLY fit the All Pro bumper current design, we are not making a universal swingout or anything that will fit any other manufacturers rear bumper!

How about a modular carrier, so you could mount gas cans, power tanks, shovel-axe, or hi-lift. A cb antenna mount would be good for a standard feature.
Definitely a gas can/s and jack option. Not sure if it would still be a swing-out type feature but that would seal the deal for me on All Pro's rear bumper. For me I'd agree that I'm not going to be running a tire in which the current rear spare set-up wouldn't work, so if you could add utility to the rear bumper and help us bring some top weight down to maintain a good COG then that'd be great.
This is what the forum is all about. How often do consumers get such access to suppliers to have direct input not only into the design of a product but what products to work on.
Very cool!

Re: All Pro New Part Poll
mounts for Jerry cans, hi-lift, shovel, axe, power tank....maybe a flat mini rack above and out from the spare...so the rear window still open but large enough for a ice chest...or maybe a platform/step above/on the spare to help get stuff up on/off the rack....i am glad we have vendors like you that have a genuine interest in what we do.....KUDOS...to you guys...RR
It'd be great if it can carry all of the things mentioned and as RR suggested maybe have a mini rack. If do a rack, be sure to make it over 50" wide (better yet 60") so you can throw gun cases up there. If it's useful and I can add it my All Pro bumper, I'll buy it.
