Rear bumper design/build (4 Viewers)

[Stainlessdoctor]

With all the s*** products nowadays from overseas that doesn't last, it's great to see people who can dream, design, and fabricate a top notch quality product at home. I wish you guys all the best

Tire carrier has been made adjustable. Waiting on the pieces for both swing-arms to be cut/formed!

Can't wait to see this all come together....




Carrier is adjustable to fit from a 33" tire, up to a true 39" tire (which is the tire size shown in my renderings).
The adjustment range allows the tire to sit on that lower bar. This will help distribute the load, and also keep the wheel/tire from vibrating or shaking.

I'm loving this setup.

Think this piece got a little hot?

Well, I don't think that spindle is going to fall off...

Internally braced/boxed as well!

Nevermind. It was determined that if a big enough meteor were to hit the spindle, in just the right spot, it *could* break.

So, they got another pass.

Essentially, the base bumpers are all constructed in the same manner, and these appurtenances can be added to, right?

Correct. The internal gussets will be included with your bumper so that later on you can add spindles and any type of swing arm setup.

That is some of the nicest welding I have ever seen.

I like the spare carrier design. I bet there's very little deflection possible on any terrain.

No doubt. Hoping for a front to match the quality.

Thanks, the tire carrier will be very stout. Shouldn't move or wiggle at all with the tire resting on the bottom piece of tubing. The whole bumper is pretty overkill, but that's ok. We like overkill.

As for a front bumper? Well, stay tuned.... Rumor has it that the doctor doesn't want an ARB, so we may be pulling something out of our sleeve??

Some beefy new spindles! These things are SMOOTH....

You should prob. learn to weld a little better before you tackle these big projects...those slag boogers don't look like they got penetration....

Damn dude. Looks more uniform than a robot.

Build NOT Bought

He should change his forum name to StainlessDavinci,just sayin'

 

[Stainlessdoctor]

Thanks for the great complements on my welding! Yea....I think I will stay together! When it's all said and done there will be cock roaches and that bumper! LOL

Hell, I can't even run the flap disk that well.

I like the tire carrier brace idea too, some nice ideas coming out here.
