    Pathrat's Rear bumper build

    So here is the pics of the build on Stephanie's rear bumper.
    1st Pete had removed the plastic bumper and side panels before I got home with the materials to build the bumper.

    2nd was the modification of the hitch which Pete tackled really well, while I was cutting and and reshaping the side bumper panels to fit in closer to the body.

    Pete also got the location for the exhaust cut out and I got the main bumper tube bent up. Pete also got the new tow hooks welded in.

    Next was a fun part of figuring out what we wanted to do with the inside uprights, designed to mimic the rounded door openings. Pete got the exhaust opening plated for reinforced strength.

    Next came bending the top tubes and locating where to mount the backup sensors.

    Finally finished with the bumper Pete got it all primered up. We finished it all up by with getting the exhaust all welded up.

    Re: Pathrat's Rear bumper build

    This write up made it look easy Just weld that, bend that, route that.

    My exhaust came out where Sean's head is but over to the side. The guys cut the exhaust tube and made me a new, straight one.

    GREAT WORK!!!! LOVE IT

    Wish it was all that easy, I suppose in some ways it is once you have the basic understanding of bending and welding down, as well as how metal functions.

    That is to bail out the less-prepared.
    I am hoping all that crap is stuff I will rarely need!

    Re: Pathrat's Rear bumper build

    I forgot to add pictures from after the paint job...flat black rubberized undercoating in a can. I couldn't stop with the rear and now it is on the useless plastic front bumper as well. Note, however, the small embellishments...

    Sorry, Stephanie, I felt the need to clarify things over there in the blue room. I didn't want them thinking we had a fruit cake wheeling such a cool rig here in Colorado with the Hello Kitty stickers.

    Besides, the ladies who wheel get all kinds of attention over there!

    I had to go look. Looks like the Blew hasn't changed much.

    Pathrat - Where did you get the flat black rubberized undercoating? Do you know if it chips when hit or does it peel like Linex? I'm thinking of using that stuff on my rock-rails as long as it doesn't peel.
