Default Rear bumper on a budget.

So on a run last week, my rear bumper caught a stump, and the mounting bolts tore clean through the plastic on the passengers side. I managed to strategically use a large rock to push it back in, but I still need a new bumper. I'm looking for suggestions on some budget rear bumpers. I can't afford to drop $1000 on a bumper. I just want something basic, maybe with some d-ring mounts that's it. Any ideas?

I think I'm gonna end up either trying to get something real basic made, or just find another stocker and stubby it.

I have a friend that has done it to his. Not sure if he did it from a write up, or just figured it out. Looks pretty good. He cut the ends off, and used the end caps off the bumper to cap the stubbied main body at the same width as the tub.

that actually looks all right. and the price is very reasonable for a bumper and tire carrier!

I like that bumper, and I like Poison Spyder stuff, but I'm still a little hesitant to start cutting my frame...for now.
