All,

I have seen a few pics on the net of trucks with small wheels under their rear bumpers (http://www.blankwhitepage.com/gallery/r ... y/IMG_0044), anyone try to fab these up on a KJ? Could be quite handy.

I'm not planning on pulling any wheelies so I guess I won't be needing them.

What is their intended purpose? :? Seems like the steel tubing would do just fine by itself...

1. Bumper fascia is already damaged.
2. Get that spare out from underneath.
3. Seems like an okay thing but the wheel would bust on something when hittnig it hard. Bare metal like sliders would do just fine.

I could use a set on the back of the trailer.

The receiver hitch sticks out farther than the bumper, so it would contact the ground first. I think they're just someone's attempt at being a smartass.
