Dave, I'll get close-ups uploaded soon for you. Yes, it was 3/4 square stock, thick-wall (1/8, I think). Two angled pieces at door mount to the two top bolts on the spare mount, then the rear piece forms the tripod to keep it sturdy. I flattened off a lugnut to hold the bar well at the spare tire, and a wingnut at top to make it removeable without any special tools.
