Rear Bumper Thread...

[javik]

Nice bumper bro, too bad between your location and your name now someone could easily steal your rig.

oh wait, i forgot what happens to anything including deer that threaten your jeep.

last name is Grigorenko... ukrainian... first name: dale... american... i think i'm 4th gen? so i'm pretty diluted with the rest of america now.

how did you make that say pee? obviously you rearranged the letters but how did you unstick/restick them?

 

[dgrigorenko]

thats right.... three in the head. caliber .45....... bring it.

More progress. I have also given up on a deadline for this thing...

Had to cut the bottom tail light insert piece off so that I could remove them without taking off the entire bumper. But still have the bumper run flush up to the bottom of the light. Not a big deal

Welded up the drivers side. Stainless is a little different when than regular carbon, and I'm still getting used to it.

After a little girinding, still lots more to go.

And the the trailer, just needs a few more things

 

[ladywolf]

how much did it cost ya to build that trailer? looks SHARP!

 

[DanMan2k06]

Hmm I'll have to get back to ya on that one.

On the bumper note, the driver's side is completely done, and ready for paint. Now I just have to finish the stupid passenger side, wrapping the quarter panel pieces around the hinge.

Does anyone know who makes this bumper???

 

[crazyjim]

I believe that's a rigidco bumper?

 

[crazyjim]

Yup, RigidCo RbM

 

[Der-Rock]

Awsome, thanks! I suspected it might be due to the way the shackle mounts were shaped. I have their front bumper and love it. Terry does nice work.

My bumper build.... mounting plates and the 2 1/2" square for going from mounting plate to bumper.

mock up c-channel 3/16" thick.... also see a piece of 1 5/8" pipe i used to mock up my forthcoming exo cage.

and i will add a small side piece of the c-channel to protect the quarters and to mount the 1 5/8" exo tubes to.

 

[DanMan2k06]

Wow I haven't revisited this thread in a looooong time. The bumper is done, I'll see if I can get some pics posted in the next couple of days.

here are some more progress pics:

Working on marking out where mounts would weld to bumper=

And stopping point for the moment=

and now i am goin to take about an inch off both ends and put 2 side pieces on that will extend about 6" forward to guard the rear quarters and will also be the spot for my exo tube to tie into...

 

[Jimbo_1321]

you're gonna tie an exo into the stock bumper holes?

 

[1badass4x4]

yOU BETTER RETHINK THAT BUMPER,You need to open up the rear framerail hole and run some box tube in it.Then bolt it up like the hitch mounts,i used the factory nut strip inside my box tubing,works great!

 

[_MURDERED OUT_]

The bumper isnt finished, it will have 1.5" tube running behind it and in front of it and tied into the hitch as well. The bumper will also be tied into a plated rear frame, rear shackle box drop deal, more plated frame up to reinforced front leaf drop hanger what will be tied into subframe already under the framerails. I dont have any worries... it will either hold or it wont...

 

[Jimbo_1321]

it will either hold or it wont...

that's the worry...
why not just make it so that it will hold for sure?

 

[Bronco]

Yup, RigidCo RbM

[Hammered]
