Unless we're talking about some sort of clearance robbing tire carrier that drags along rocks, I don't see the reason for it to weigh a shit ton. It's only going to be supporting a spare tire/wheel, it doesn't need to withstand the force of the entire jeep coming down on it.

of course its also alot about how you build it.
a well built bumper out of 1/8" is better than a unsupported bumper of 1/4"

The bumper is built out of 1/8 thick steel,we use a inch pin to latch the system.Stainless steel receiver lock fits 5/8" and 1/2" diameter receiver holes.
