HZJ77 Rear Bumper options, ANyone running an AFN rear bumper

[broth9640]

In my search to find a rear bumper for the 77 I came across this bumper. Wondering if anyone out there has seen these or is running one. They are designed for a 76. I am also wondering what would be different on a rear 76 Vs a 77. Are the mounts the same? The 76 in this photo looks like it may be running this bumper, but I have no way to confirm this. It does look like it mates up to the fender flares nicely. It looks like they ditched the mud flaps though.

Yo bro,

I know someone with a 76, I can throw a tape over it and get some photos if you like?
if so what am I measuring?

4x4labs now makes one for the 77.
There is a fellow on the forum in Vancouver that is getting one sent to him in parts.
That will probably be the route I am going.

I suppose the mounts would be a good place to start. Checking the width between the two.
Is there really any difference between a 77 and 76 in the back? What does the stock 76 bumper look like?
I know the front of the vehicle looks different with the lights,grill and hood being different, but the back looks identical to me. Pics with measurements would be very valuable to me.

Hmmm, I will have to check that out.

I just checked it out, seems promising. I am really hoping Cruiser Outfiters just does a 77 version of their bumper, but if not I will be looking for something along these lines.

The body mounts between the 73 and 77 are the exact same in the back.
The rear crossmember is inset in the middle (where the trailer hitch attachment would be) on the 77.

Ended up measuring a customers 76 series at the shop.

I measured my 73 series and it is the same. The panels taper and twist to suit profiles so it depends where it is measured.
I measured just above the bumper where the very bottom of the rear light face tapers and meets the body.

I think I found my next work vehicle........might have to start hinting to the missus we need a wagon.

Any way, hope this helps.
