Hello from Texas!
So I installed a Victory 4x4 bumper a year ago and love it. It's be a game changer for me. Per instructions, I cut off the top ears of the bumper and reinstalled. I thought they were on well and wheeled with them many times, lots of torture. I supposed 82nd street was too much for them because one day, one was gone. I backed tracked to try to find it but here we are.
I thought of some options and wanted feedback:
1. The obvious option is finding a bumper. Junk yards probably don't have many of these amazing machines lying around, especially in my area. If one of you happened to have one, I'd be willing to pay for a cut off chunk shipped to me. Even if I had to deal with another color.
2. 3D print. This would be more of a project and more for fun but it's doable. If anyone has anything resembling a CAD file that would help. I'd need to model it in 3D and luckily I do have the other side still. I'd make a bunch of tests but then I could do a print in multiple sections with a high quality material. This is going to be more of a nerd factor to hopefully replace the pain factor.
Thoughts and ideas?
