Rear bumper options

[Tungsten]

Long story short, my rear bumper is mangled and it's about time I did something about it. Outside of actually building a custom rear bumper for the WD21, are there any other options?

 

I can install a factory replacement from RockAuto but can do something unique and use maybe a hardbody rear bumper instead... Did anyone ever try using a hardbody rear bumper on a WD21?

I hack and slashed a toyota rear bumper

 

 

i was going to show the after...go look at my TOTM nomination to see the after since my buddies intrawebs is being special

[Tungsten]

Do you still have the old one? Maybe someone can sell me an unmangled and relatively not rusty one?

There is a shop not far from me that has 2 options in a double tube bumper for the pathfinder, they make good quality parts and made a triple/double roll bar for me years ago for my hardbody. Not sure on pricing but here are the 2 styles they make:

I like that first one!

Me too, could always use a receiver hitch, if not for towing to mount my Warn shackle mount in.

 

here it is unpainted:

 

 

The company makes them to order, it's not something they make and stock so small changes are probably not a problem, (extra spacers, ends cut even, for ex), I'll e-mail them for prices.

Hey wonder if we can get a discount if we bought 2? Since your like 30min away we could totally do that and hook em up together one shot.

[Tungsten]

yeah that would work

uncc, wait until you see my rear bumper

The Oh side was turned strait down the week before hand...if u look closely you can see the tweak...def just scraped it as soon as it came off BC it was crimped.in 3 places

hardbody rear bumper is 1.5" too high for a pathy. Unless the backets swap over or you make custom ones

No one doubts that when you are finished with something, it is finished! Lol!

Is that Uwharrie on Daniel? If so, those rocks got my bumper too!

[ahardb0dy]

The bumper with the hitch $275 plus tax (and shipping if you don't live down here)

It does look like "slab pile". I survived by going the "puss way" around it.

I would do it. How much does that thing weigh? How much would the shipping be to the NY/NJ area?

[unccpathfinder]

Yea that was on Daniel
