Hey, gang!

Who here has the Dobinsons rear bumper + tire swing out?

Drop some pictures of your rig w/ it in the comments below!
I’m looking at bumpers and am hoping to get a better idea of how they look on our 80’s.

Also,
If your rig has one – are you impressed/pleased with the quality/build of it? Does it seem like it offers good rear-end protection – better than the stock bumper?

TIA!

I installed the Dobinson bumper about six months ago. Very impressed with the customer service, very impressed with the build quality. I will say that the bumper is a little bit taller than other ones I looked at but for the price point it is at the others were over $1000 more. I looked at 4 x 4 labs, dissent and others. They didn’t really have an option for a highlift Jack so I fabricated my own with the help of my friend @Comet. The lights in the bumper are great and very easily tie into the stock wiring.

How did you modify it to fit the hilift on the swingout? Looks like a pretty good location to me.

Took a grade 5 bolt and ran it through the tire mount with a modified eyebolt and welded a foot to the swingarm. Then fabricated a locking nut with some rebar and a wingnut to hold it in place.
