Love the bumper, and is that a rear swing out tire carrier with a built in ladder as well? Details on that, too, please!
 
Thanks guys, I wanted a tire carrier and ladder for the runner but I liked the idea of having it removable. It slides into my 2" receiver hitch and expands to lock it in the hitch. But I still have a receiver hitch to pull the trailer

Here are some build pictures

slick setup. I am working on a roof rack myself right now for my '92. I considered going with aluminum for the rack, but i have settled on steel. I don't want to go too heavy on my rig, I wish I had a 3.4 to pull it around but the 22RE will have to suffice.
 
Thanks Claim,

I'm thinking about going a different way with my next roof rak I like Johnny Lange "J" Moose rack here http://www.wildyoats.com/. It's made out of a bi-fold ATV ramp bolted open and installed on gutter mounts..
