Default Rear bumper

Hello Everyone,

Does anyone have ideas for a rear bumper? One the you made that did not require a great deal of fabrication or welding? How did you mount it?

Pictures are nice


Thank you,

Dale

Here is the rear bumper that i made. I used all the existing hounting holes and added 2 more along the bottom of the frame rail for support. There wasnt a ton of welding on it.

The outer skin is 3/16" mild steel i backed it between the frame with 1/8th" wall 2x3 mild tubing. I used all the original mounting brackets from the stock bumper. Was fairly easy to make.

I didnt get a chance to finish it. I ran into some family issues that required more of my time. Hopefully before the weekend is over it will be done.
