Finally Finished Rear Bumper

[macs97XJ]

The goal was to have a bumper to sorta match the front. I wanted it to be sorta easy, to add a little protection to the sides, and flow with the rest of my junk.

No tire carrier, but I will be adding another plate to mount the two shackles to match the front. Once I add the plate, it will give me back the space on the sides that the heat took away.

On the corner pieces I added a bottom tube to add a little strength and a bottom protection to the corner of the qtr panel.

Not bad for the 1st rough attempt I think, the next one will be powder coated.

NOTE: The wrinkle paint did not wrinkle as much as I wanted, but it all good, if it gets scratch, which it will, I will just take it off and repaint it.

I made the holes a little bigger so the corners could be adjusted up and down

Very nice! I like the tube bumpers. Are you gonna cap the ends of the tubes?

LEO: Yeap those are you old flares, thanks btw. I have ordered one, but the company called and said they do not have any onhand. So, spare tire will be in-da-back

Hung up, I'm guessing yes however I'm also banking on my new tires sticking out a little to help with that, but there are some trials that it will hang up on, hopefully once I get them capped, it will help shield major hang ups.
