I just bought one of these a few weeks ago for a STEAL from the seller in Prescott. Search Prescott AZ craigslist and you should find it. Super nice guy. I believe he had 4 jk bumpers left and also a few for land rovers (I think). FYI they will NOT fit a 35" spare how they come from the factory. I was able to mod it to make it work for about $20 and an hour or so of my time.
Pm me if you'd like details.

That is a smoking deal...wish I saw that. Love that bumper. I dropped them a line the other day...nothing left for jeeps....couldn't find anything on Prescott CL either.

@jscherb I got a sketch from many moons ago similar to what you have above...but I never digitized it.
I want to play with some concepts to make this work for my application. I'm currently running a Titan fuel carrier (the older style - the left side sticks out a bit from the tire) and may end up blocking both lights. I have an ARB steel rear bumper that I picked up for cheap and would use as a base. I also picked up a tire carrier (https://www.extremeterrain.com/barricade-x-r-hd-tirecarrier-j103687.html) that was marked down to $60 over the holiday....ripe for modification!
The dual swing would be cool from a table/chuck box/work surface perspective, but too annoying on a daily - so I am just going to go with a single swing arm. I don't intend to load much weight into the cargo box, so am not too terribly worried about leverage on the pivot.

There are lots of options.
Pelican and Hardigg cases come in lots of sizes: https://cases2go.com/Pelican-Single-Lid-Cases.aspx
Aluminum truck tool boxes also come in appropriate sizes, many in 24" and 30" length, this one is 30" x 15" x 11", I found it on eBay:
Here's a surplus Swedish Military Medical Case that's a nice size (https://colemans.com/swedish-military-medical-box). It's 11" wide so it could fit beside a larger spare.
I'm sure you can find lots of other options with a little searching.
