Re:got a new back bumper

Nice looking bumper, dodgeram. Give us some vital statistics; material, weight, etc. Looks like all of the seams are filled too...unlike my 1 year old Reunel which is weeping rust thru the open seams. >

Re:got a new back bumper

doesn't really matter about the plate number .........hoss' guess was wrong and nobody's gonna come way up here to get my truck anyways even if he was right

started out as a 1/4" walled 6"x8" peice of square tubing he cut out the center and end curves and filled them and the ends with 1/8" plate (it was eiseir to shape) and sanded all the welds down

he put a couple pieces of 1/4 plate along the walls of the center notch to make sure it was strong there as some of the tubing was cut out

only took him a few hours ofter work on friday ......... cost me 175 dollars for a 14ft chunk of the tubing(I got 8 feet left) and a case of beer for him to do it

now to make plans for the front bumper ...............

It'll look really good with the bedliner on it.
