RRC Rear Bumper Build - Land Rovers Only

mensley · 05-28-2006, 02:16 PM

here's one picture, this is just the bumper frame, it will be covered with 14GA Cee Purlin that has the shape of the frame. I am going to have a swing away tire carrier with...

hi lift carrier
cup holder
jerry can holder
a rear lamp (not on tire carrier)
lighted license plate
military surplus ammunition box for small stuff

That has the makings of being a very strong bumper, look forward to seeing the finished product.

looks very good

That bumper looks great.

I don't think it's a good idea replacing your rear view mirror with a basketball net though, it's only a matter of time before you catch a rebound off the forehead while you're driving.

Safety first please.

wow, IMO that looks good! Like an RTE nerf slider on the rear, really clean looking too. X2, post some more pics of the build and finished product. *thumbs up*

mensley · 06-09-2006, 06:53 PM

check it out...

Tire carrier has to wait till later, week or so before I start

mensley · 06-09-2006, 06:55 PM

It just has Rustol Primer on it now

mensley · 06-09-2006, 07:03 PM

the hinge will go where the keys are sitting. It is jackable as you can see in one of the pictures.
