ABSTRACT:
A bumper apparatus is disclosed herein which includes a bumper mounted to a vehicle frame to be pivotable about a horizontal axis transverse of the vehicle and to have a first, up position and a second, down position. Means are provided for locking the bumper in the up position and which include a locking member pivotably attached to the bumper and pivotable about a vertical axis when the bumper is in the up position. Upon pivoting of the locking member it engages the vehicle frame and holds the bumper up. An arm member is also attached to the locking member to provide for operation of the locking means. A pair of such locking members are included, one on each side of the vehicle. A spare tire is mountable within a tire rack located immediately forward of the bumper, and other equipment may also be similarly located and held therein secure from unauthorized access while being easily accessed by the user of the vehicle.
