My rear tube Bumper Build

[vkasm1]

I know I need longer rear shocks

the side tube clearance

Im still debating on side hoops

and a sswing out

Let me know what you think .

Looks great! I would go with the side hoops, hopefully others with rear tube bumpers, like Nay, will chime in about strength, flex, etc.

keen to see the finished product.

Wish I knew how to weld, dangit !
Personally, I want to get a bumper with hoops, do it !

Looking forward to the progress.

Definitely add the side hoops.

spdwaver1, that some nice photoshop you got there, helps visualize it better.

Yes i will be adding some small side hoops and a swing out. I will also ad some more reinforcment to the side from main tube to the frame.
Thanks spdwaver1 for the photoshop they look great but I think i still like mine better.
More picture when I get more progress done.

What are you using for a bender?

 

[vkasm1]

I work at an automotive shop and they have an exhaust pipe bender and thats what i have mostly been using. I also have a HF bender at home that I havent used.

I would consider one of these fo your Hi-lift, added security when lifting on tubing- Just a thought...

Looks good!

Nice work. Now, you need to go out and test the strength of the carrier and rear corners.

For research purposes only, of course.
