Rear Bumper

Ok i have a rear bumper works like a champ but cant dump my dagum bed i know some of yall got the bumpers and can still dump the beds how in the heck do they attach? Also how sturdy are they my bumper is there for a reason not for looks ive repainted it like 600 times already and dents and what not you get my point PICS would be the best with some story tellin

Shawn, here is the bumper I have. It is heavy duty and you can tilt the bed. It attaches to brackets that attach to the bed hinge pins, and attach to the bed with 4 bolts. Then the Bumper attaches to the brackets with 4 Bolts. I've been very happy with it.

i've got the same thing... it's an excellent bumper... and it was cheap.

Some pics. Hope this helps. Also there are pics of the brackets on the auction site for the bumper.

yep it helped...did you have to drill holes through the bed or preexisting holes?

Had to drill.

shawn - sorry so late here on this buddy - I have the most inexpensive tube style bumper that a) did its job inthe race and has a lil bend b) does allow the bed to dump with no problems c) only issue I had was having to cut 2" off my alba pipe - i will try to get some pics tonight for you.

cool rc i still havent made up my mind i seen one who used the read diff brace and welded it to it so myb that i dunno so many choices

:EDIT: But all ideas pictures and thoughts are well welcome i'm gonna take my time on this one maybe even come up with somethin super custom i aint sure yet

my rear bumper is the cheapest downa nd dirty rear bumper made....

2 tubes with 2 supports bolted to bed support frame

it will not be a place to hook any tow straps too - it is really designed for if you back into something (brush or tree) and someone rhino humps in the rear... I can attest that in the gncc race I got humped and bumped a bit! One small bend in the top tube. no other bed or body damage.




notice the angle bracket is outside the bed attachement braces and the frame - and it is cut an angle to allow full bed dump - again - my only issue was having to cut the tip off my alba pipe - oem pipe with ext tip will be fine




hope these help! take pics of what you come up with, my neighbor fabbed a killer pice that resembles the LSRacing rear but he also added a plate that connected above the receiver hitch...I will see if i can get soem pics of it too.

nice robbie i just cant decide what to do...how hard was it to get in there to bolt it up? thats why i never did it to there

notice the placement near the hole in the support

its easy - and I am a wrenching greenhorn

i just re looked at it i went with somethin quick and easy now i want somethin snazzy

Hook me up Shawn.

i bent the lower tubung tonight gotta notch and make brackets tomorrow at work and walaa all done

o i almost forgot weldin in tabs for new back-up light placement and maybe just maybe some expanded metal to cover it all and look snazzy

well got part done got the mounting brackets made up just gotta notch out for the tubing weld on light tabs(back up lights goin to be relocated) then paint it

Looks good man, I don't need tabs for lights or any paint....perfect just like that.

what about mounting brackets?

More progress only 2 more stpes paint and mount :)
