The Cross Enterprises rear bumper and tire carrier that used to be on Dutch are installed.

Here’s the bumper getting a fresh coat of semi-gloss black.  These came powder coated from Cross, but after a couple years had some rust spots on them:

The tire carrier also got primered and painted:

To figure out where to drill the holes for the bumper (8 of them), I used CAD - Cardboard Aided Design.  I made a template by poking holes through the cardboard into the bumper, then transfered that to the rear crossmember.

After painting the crossmember, here’s everything installed.  I haven’t seen this setup together for a year - I forgot how big the spare looks and how high it sets the spare up. 

The Cross bumper has angled brackets that tie into the frame for support:

I was happy to find a way to mount the bumper by myself this time (had to get help in the past).  I should have grabbed a pic but didn’t.  The bumper balanced nicely in my floor jack with the receiver cradled into the top, but the floor jack came up about 3” short of the bumper.  Solution?  Yep - let all the air out of the rear tires.  Worked great.
