Custom Rear Bumper

I may have missed it but I’m guessing Midwest

 

Thank you!

Thanks! Really looking forward to seeing what BashFab works out for you!

 

I decided to color match the rear bumper and got that knocked out this weekend. I also seam sealed some gaps and rough welds on the back and covered with a thick layer of Rustoleum Implement Paint. It's an enamel and seems pretty tough so I'm hoping it'll hold up to rock chips and rust really well.

Those aren't scratches, just pollen smudges after wiping off.

 

Sick!

 

Got the trailer plugs in. I had to make a pretty complex bracket and modify the stock connectors a ton, but it works well. I used the OEM connectors as the flat faces on this bumper aren't big enough to mount an aftermarket 4 and 7 pin connector.

 

Small updates, but still progress. I got my black stainless hardware in from McMaster so that got put in for the trailer plug and license plate light.


I realized once the trailer plugs were in that I didn't measure right and had to extend the factory wiring. 8" of extra wire gave me plenty of length for a smooth run.

 

Looks great! I also thought of incorporating into that set of factory hitch holes, but in the end just built from scratch. Yours looks plenty tough. Nice work!

 

Thanks! As I know you know, it’s a lot of work but a fun project!

 

I may try to use your design when I build my rear. Nice work
