Dissent offroad modular rear bumper. (1 Viewer)

Yup. Covered several pages back. @benc was unaware of different foot plate sizes. You can order just the smaller foot for your hi-lift and replace what you have.

Let me start by saying Ben is such a great person to work with...he did last minute modifications and kept the entire install/fab to the two days I had while in Grass Valley. After driving a total of 7k miles (3500 with new Dissent equipment) I can say I'm very pleased with the work Ben did. No rattles, and no eye sores that stick out with design....Instead of changing the foot on my hi-lift Ben made a new tray to fit my wider foot....I also added a chainsaw holder to the side of the right swing out arm with capability to hold 3 gallons of gas under the tray (rotopax not pictured.).
Only issue we had was with the third skid plate not having clearance with my Borla exhaust...Ben swapped in one of the earlier prototypes with no added gussets on the inside so it's a bit less capable on deflection resistance but the others have the added strength so hopefully I don't pin the last plate...worst case it will bend.

Great experience for the entire family and we saw so much of the country - 16 states....Me, my wife, and two boys 2 and 4. 2018 - epic...now we're planning some camping trips to test out the new gear.

I forgot to add I did an oil change this weekend and swapped out some transmission fluid so I had two of the three skids removed and I was able to do it all myself while under the vehicle on a creeper....super fast on the front skid to remove and the second took a bit longer due to the number of fasteners but overall I'm not turned off. You can change the oil with the front one in place but I don't like oil on the inside of the skids so I always remove....for others they might just opt to leave in place.

That chainsaw mount is cool but if you're doing any serious wheeling I'd be pretty concerned about it getting ripped off.

I just put be 20” on for effect. I have a 14” battery saw I take in the woods. Still plenty of clearance. You guys are so observant.

Thanks!

@WickedPickle .... damn those skids are nice! So want to add those to my build.

 

[jfrench]

Thanks!

No problem. Just make sure you order the right one. I ordered but ended up getting the same size and still haven’t corrected the issue

Those Skids are legit!

@benc you are the truth.

@benc

I am placing a hardware order for some other projects and want to get some new bolts for my rear bumper. They don't seem to have survived the winter.

Can you tell me the size of the hardware used to attach the bumper? Specifically these pieces pictured below.
Could I replace them with stainless to match the front or do they need to be grade 8?

Sorry about the hardware issue! I could send you some new ones or yes you should be fine to replace with stainless, just make sure you use antiseize if you go that route. The cap bolts are 1/2"x3/4" and the hinge bolt washer is 1". Let me know if you need me to sent any.
Thanks.

Front and rear bumpers built to accommodate 1" body lift and full skids installed today coated in evo gray and black texture.

^ Those impeccable welds are why @benc can't hire anyone.

When you put a standard like that on someone - I'm sure any potential employees quickly start to feel unworthy to be in the same room as Ben.

As always, amazing!

 

[reconranger]

Holy crap, those are some nice looking welds.

I may have to rethink my rear bumper!

Haha, thanks!
Yes, I have scared a few welders off but I do have a guy I'm training that is getting close!

Any update on the second swing out?

Filled in that blank spot to the right of the hitch with a shore power outlet.

Nice!
The second swing with tray and 2" receiver are available. The other accessories I'm still working on.

@benc will the swing with the 2" receiver be rated? t'd be really nice to have a tray style bike rack mounted on a swing out

Something like this....

No rating but the 1up bike rack is what it was designed around, works well!

So I had a near disaster yesterday. After picking up my bumper order from Fastenal 3pl shipping I was transporting directly to the powder coater on my trailer. Apparently during shipping Fastenall fork lift operators must have crashed a little into the end of the pallet and loosened the screws holding down one of the front bumper wings. As I was riding down the interstate that piece feel of the back of the trailer into traffic and the car two behind me hit the bumper wing, dragging it a couple hundred feet before coming to a stop.
