Rear Bumper….

[BigRiver]

Anyone here have one?

I can see the merit of having one in the region that I hunt in. A lot of tight trails to turn around in and I'd rather have a bumper take the abuse than the rear tail gate.

Buying a OEM is about $225. from either a dealer or e-bay, wondering id anyone here base faced one of their own.

Just might be something I'll have to put together!

I bought and installed the factory rear bumper . To me its not worth the money they get .It is made from pretty light gauge steel.I think backing into something with anything other than a little bump will bend it.

Yea it looked like a simple tube with brackets to me. Its a $60 bumper at best.

Im waiting, waiting... If I could only get my 700-4.. Dying to do some cool fabrication for it

Very nice. Seem simple enough to build the way you did.
I might could do this too even with my limited tools.
Thanks for sharing.
