Updated rear bumper pics (was Project LXXIV)

[cruiserdan]

We learned about them on Kaymar bumpers a decade or so ago (back when Ben @ Outback Proven was the Kaymar dist). We started using the in our bumpers, I know Trail Tailor, Dissent and others are using them now too. They are a tidy package solution.

And they operate on 10-30 volts so you can put them on anything.

They are nice. Right now I have the kaymar off...but the entire time I was using it...those LEDs never burned out or gave me any issue.

The bumper I am using now for the time being has LEDs built in in the same fashion but they have burned out three times already. I gave up on them and yes I wired them properly...just like the LEDs on the Kaymar....

This is what I am using at the moment with my aftermarket bumper. It comes in two different ways (no flare or flare) No drilling required, uses existing holes. Also it stays bone dry under it too...driven in the rain many times with these.

Tidy! who makes those?

Tidy! who makes those?

They came from Moto-rage. A 4wd parts business in Japan. Had to use Dave Stedman as a middle man to buy them but I think the are on yahoo store too. I was never able to get them to sell me direct.

I really liked them but had to remove them when I installed the kaymar.

We've talked about a 77 specific bumper however given current demand and ability to produce, it's not even something we are approaching at current.

Just curious, but have y'all gotten around to mocking out a 77 specific bumper?

We have not. I’ve got a 77 so it may happen one day.

Back-ordered rear bumpers are all shipping today!

We do have a couple of front with/hoop available and a couple of rear dual swing setups available for immediate order/shipping. Next batch is due late winter.

One thing that's not clear, is the hitch part of the bumper or does it bolt to the 4 holes in the center of the rear frame where a pintle would mount?

I see it's rated for Class 1 loads and is a 2-inch receiver.

I have a modified 80 series class 3 on my troopy, I guess I can keep it, if there's enough room/clearance, and then not worry about using the included hitch for higher loads.

It's separate, it bolts on with (6) bolts. In order to use bigger/better hardware, we remove the captured nuts on the front side of the frame channel and run grade hardware in the four locations.

Pics from instructions:

I'm not sure there would be room for a class 3 with the bumper, I suspect not.

Thanks, that's the information I was after.

Ha. Require cutting out the rear cross-member of a frame and you offer a "I like the clean lines...". But a few holes in a door are just "interesting"? Give us some more credit than that lol.

How many people mind drilling? While it is a great question, it has nothing to do with this bumper. See, we worked with Toyota to pre-install all of the needed holes in the door

Kurt,
For the 70 series trucks with the spare under the truck, is the door sheet metal reinforced enough to mount to?

@cruiseroutfit like this.

We’ve seen both. For those lacking the reinforcement from the factory, reinforcement plates on the four RH door bolts are easy.

Thanks for confirming!
