No problem Burt. I go to the store for 4 items and forget three! But honey, I got the beer! Still researching the rear bumper build, but pretty much have a design in mind. Really like yours with a few mods., for my setup.

hahah NEVER forget the Beer!!

There is no spare mounted right now cuz I need to get two new studs into my mount. The last of my 1Ton Project changes from 6lug to 8.
The gate is secured to the bumper with the eye bolt you see. I welded a big nut on the inside of the bumper. On the gate's bottom you can see I added a foot/pad for the gate to rest on the bumper. I like the eyebolt as I know it is secure and tight. Some of the latches I have seen just didn't seem to be strong. I did NOT want this gate jumping around on me.
Anyway Hope this helps with your project!
Burt

Burt, those pic's are exactly what I was looking for! That is the perfect setup IMO. Got the plan now, just need to gather the materials and get with my welder friend. Thank's alot, I can't wait to get started!

swyfor5 · 11-02-2009, 12:37 PM

Burt, almost forgot, I love the longneck opener mounted there! Perfect for "tailgating"!

Burt4x4 · 11-02-2009, 01:39 PM

swyfor5 · 11-02-2009, 06:00 PM

ANytime and keep us posted on your progress once you find a "Man Space" to work on your rig!

swyfor5 · 11-03-2009, 09:26 PM

Working on that man space! Gotta deal with dad, he has the space, just need to move his "66" Pontiac! Might be spring before things change here, it might be spring before I can move on with more funds!Hope not!

Wow, surprised to see this thread. In my typical fashion, I still don't have a rear bumper fabbed up yet! Hopefully this summer is my summer for major progress. Anybody got any new ideas?

Hi there! It's the first time I ever saw this many different attachments and looks for bumpers! Do you guys do this by yourselves? Do you have some step by step tutorials on how to do this?

Thanks!
