So besides the Evo, my other interest is offroading. I built an old '76 Land Cruiser several years back and I'm getting ready to start another one. But since my wife and kids like going with me I needed something for all of us to fit in as well. So I have this '93 Land Cruiser for all of us. My latest welding project was a new rear bumper/tire carrier. The 315/75 R16 spare tire needed something beefy to hold it and it wasn't going to fit in the stock location under the rear of the truck. Also needed something to hold up under some pretty serious abuse that the bumper would get out in the rocks. Also needed some recovery point for those rare times I get it stuck.

Anyway, here's a few pic from the build process. After having all the steel bent.
