Rear bumper

IMG_20210402_145012~2.jpg

Just received this brand new bumper.
Was marked down to a extreme discount. $75.00 including tax and shipping. Just got to fab up some brackets and now I'll ditch the heavy steel step bumper for something that matches the front bumper

Re: Rear bumper

That's the look I'm after. Just started cutting and welding the step bumper brackets to hang the new bright work. How did you mount yours?

Re: Rear bumper

I made mine from scratch. The old diamond tread bumper with welded on brackets and wasnt worth messing with. I used a piece of 4" .250 plate to bolt to the frame and then welded that to the pieces that I made to bolt to the bumper itself. I still need to fab up the pieces to go to the outside bolts.

Re: Rear bumper

Good deal, I think the outside bolt holes are just gonna hold some bumper bolts for now. The brackets I made for the four inner bolt holes are pretty solid.

That looks great, Brian!

Edit: I'm a little envious that you have a tall bay door and a loft.

Re: Rear bumper

Thanks Jim, it was easier than expected to cut up and fab the step brackets to work.

I run a plumbing business so my shop comes in handy. Especially with all the rain over the weekend.
