Rear bumper project making progress...

[deluded]

A lot more tubes and triangulation to add as well as D-rings but I am happy so far. Custom laser cut frame brackets. 1.5" x .125" round and square tube. Just plan to mig it like the front. A couple diamond plate steps. Rewired the tire swing switch with a diode to turn the rear dome light on when it is opened so that the alarm will sound if anyone goes after the jack but otherwise the circuits act totally stock including indicator lights, etc. I will update after more progress is made. Should be a brick shhthouse like the front one I shared on here.

I like your jerry can set up I was thinking of doing a rear bumper tucked away like this but also having it wrapping around the side to rear wheel well and sloped as extra sliders. Anyways, looks awesome!

funny, sliders were the original design. Wife said no it had to match the front; she might have had a different idea if i did the rocker sliders first.

Looks good! I did the same for the cargo light on my '95. One of these days the hatch switch on my '93 will fail and it'll get the same treatment LOL.

Finished and installed finally! Had to shorten hilift by 1.5" for rear fog light clearance (oem fronts with 100W Hellas). Less robust than I originally planned, but still stout as hell.

I like that. I want to do something similar.

Could we get some pics with the tire swung out and the hilift and Jerry can off?
