for all Ozzie B2B utes...rear bumper bar


Recommended Posts

I have been toiling with the idea of a rear bumper bar and came up with this..using a F100 bar and modify it..

 

I made it the same size as the front bar, the F100 is a lot bigger..after resizing made a step platform

Well done Ryan. That bumper looks great!

It's funny that I never considered that a F100 bumper would fit there - even when I supplied my Brother-in-law with a front bumper for one of his 50's F100 trucks a while back as it was a match for what he needed. I will have to take the rear bumper off my Suburban van and use it as a template.

Thanks mate,  had to cut down the width -re-weld and then shorten the length. the F100 has the same shape as the front bar..without a bumper at the back your vulnerable from rear enders...I also made support brackets running from the chassis..

Looking good........but I kinda did a double take when I first saw these photos. Looks a bit like the back of a VW Bus.

You got it registered yet Ryan?

I showed my old mate Arnold your spare tyre mount & he is planning on doing the same with his. You might have to patent these good ideas of yours!

 

not reg yet...one day at the time.. had to finish this one first...
