Rear Bumper Thread...

Good lord this thread is still around?! Lol, I sold the original bumper (still not 100% finished ) after wrecking my jeep like 3 years ago.

do you think that the mounts being so close together may have had something to do with the failure? it would seem that with them so close together that the whole carrier would wiggle more and cause more stress.

maybe it was a contributing factor as well?

it is a possibility, and if i were to do this whole design type again i would probably have done a few things different.

Did you have any support under the latch area? After I heard about them breaking I added a peice of angle iron to my bumper for the swing out to rest on when closed. I figured it would help support the weight from all hanging off the spindle.

yes it was supported under the latch: i had a block of HDPE that was between the swingout and the bumper to take load off

I started on my rear bumper this last week. I am going to cut out along the body line on the rear quarter panels and run the bumper all the way to the inside if the fender well.

I am building the rear to look similar to the front. Except its made from 2x5 by 3/16" square tube instead of 2x3 by 1/4". I will be going through the unibody as well as using the stock eight holes. I will be adding some weld on D rings soon to.

good looking bumpers! i like how tucked up and slim they are

I know which one he's talking about, but unfortunately like him I have no idea where to start looking lol. If it's the one I'm thinking of, it's a tube carrier that could be opened from either side, as well as folded down away from the hatch. Real professional work, and pretty slick design.

Heres mine.

Had my rear off today to touch up the paint and fold the rear quarters. Figured I would add for viewing pleasure. Center section is 2x4x.25. Then a mix of 1.75 and 1.5x .120 wall DOM for the corner tubes. Assume this is a repost, but I followed Foxwars thread for my inserts

From first hand experience, I would wager a guess that he parked too close to a bonfire. Ask me how I know lol

Glad to see this thread still kicking around! Lots of good ideas and projects in here.

Exact reason I posted. Wanted to keep it alive for the younger guys. I learned a lot from this thread.

Keeping the thread alive, haha
Wanted to post my DIY JCR bumper with mods
Basic JCR DIY Bumper:
