Here is a link to some of the build on our club website.

Here's the rear bumper build:

This is what it was like before we started.

Here it is after cutting and flipping the hitch, notching the 2x4 and welding them together.

Here is a shot of the front with the 3/8" plate strengthening the 2x4 to the hitch. We used 3/16" plate to taper it off to the ends. Then we did a lot of grinding and filling/sanding.

We added some tubing for a gate guard and to use as a step.

Here are some shots from different angles.

Nice bumper.. but, how much does it weigh ?

Is it only attached to the bottom of the rear uni body rails with bolts to the nut strips ?

We didn't weigh it but one person can lift it. It is heavy though. We bolted it through the bottom of the unibody with 8 bolts.

why didnt you cut and fold the rear quarter instead of just covering it, idk seems just the wiser chioce...

OK -

1) It is nice work - I rather like what I'm seeing, and there's some decent creativity going on here (I especially like the flipped hitch.) I'd like to see what comes next...

2) Arguing about CoM contests ~= Special Olympics. I don't want to see it anymore, and if you guys have a problem, take it up with the leadership of whichever board the contest was on. I think I got everything stripped out - I don't like handing out infractions, but that doesn't stop me when it gets too ridiculous. So, let's not get to that point, OK?

Good work man. the bumper looks awesome, and your rig looks very well put together.
Are those TJ front flares?

Eventually we will be carrying this build on around for the rockers and possibly an exocage.

Yep, they are TJ flares. We will be adding some to the rear when I find a deal on them.
