Has anyone modded the factory rear bumper?
I'm curious if anyone has modded the rear bumper and in which ways. Looking for anything big or small. Just looking for ideas before I go off and buy a rear bumper.

Probably not the answer you want but works for me, filled the 4 drain holes and installed fill bung and pickup tube and turned a stock bumper into a 7.5 gallon water storage. Wouldn't drink it but great for washing hands dishes or shower when coupled w/ RV pump.

Did you just plastic weld it together? I was looking for a little modding to the center section too. I have a friend that can build and make anything, so I may give him a challenge

I've thought about this too - prob won't as I think I am going to pull the trigger on a new one but my thought was to work from the center, measure out x amount on each side that would make the sides flush then you have 1 "weld". That said, I thought that strength of the bumper would be severely comprised that way, but working from the center might be an option too. Great job btw on that bumper, looks awesome.
