My new custom 4x4 Labs rear bumper (1 Viewer)

[lostworldexpedition]

I picked up my new bumper a couple of weeks ago and figured MUD would enjoy this 60 series custom. I asked Luke to build us a swingout tire and propane carrier bumper much like his 80 series bumper but lighter. Best bet was to loose some of the metal... here are the pics of the process and final product.

If you would like to see more pics let me know.

Luke makes one of the best looking bumpers out there. Where is the propane cyl mounted?

Long story.... boils down to the fact that Luke is doing the fab of the LPG tank holder now and I temporarily installed a 2 jerry can holder.

Yes, def more pics with better detail please.
That Luke guy should think about opening a shop. He does good work

Would you send more pics to me @ jelliott@atsu.edu ? I was thinking of getting one pre built for my 87. How hard of an install and any mods required?
Thanks -

If you do it you are pretty much committed. Rear x-member goes away. But what you get is much stronger and better attached than stock-

Thanks for mentioning that Ken. With your bumper the set up is a little different, but I still lost the cross member. I am pretty confident that this setup is stronger than the stock...
I will post more detailed pictures later. The next couple of days we are driving from Austin to New Orleans on scenic by ways and trails so I will not be online...
