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.
1/4" steel for mounting to stock location, with upgraded bolts.
2" top and 1 1/2" bottom
Here are the corner pieces that bolt onto the middle section
1/4" side mounts
Middle section mounted
I made the holes a little bigger so the corners could be adjusted up and down
Rubber ends caps will be added, and a spacer to move it away from the body
Matches the rest of the added on junk
