tube bumper or roll pan
well i bent the crap outta my rear bumper last weekend mudding and wanted some opinions, I'm leaning towards a custom tube rear bumper. something similar to interceptors or Scott G's (i think anyways).
i was also thinking about a roll pan and a hitch (since i don't have one yet) and if i get the tube bumper it will have a 2inch receiver. |
Tube bumper. Roll pans are no good if you wheel!

Because you'll bend up a roll pan as bad,if not worse than a stock bumper.
Ever see a minitruck on bags dragging and the rollpan gets ripped off? Tube bumper FTW. |

and why is that? they dont "look" cool on a 4x4 or what?

i think they look great and i think it may be cheaper if i find a used hitch on craigslist or something, i need a recovery point in the rear so the hitch is going on if i get a roll pan keep in mind.

seriously im interested lol |
My next major mod is going to be tube rear bumper and rock sliders. The tube rear bumper though is more or less to look good with my front bumper. i didnt really think about strength when it comes to the rear bumper. I guess if you hit anything hard enough it will break no matter what...

seriously im interested lol He means that you can install a roll pan and then install a tube bumper infront of it like a stock rear bumper. Just so you dont have that big open gap under the tailgate so everyone can stare at your spare tire. edit* lol adam beat me to it with pics |
^^^ interesting, that actually looks pretty good!
|
I'd rock that set up.

i like the clevis' on the bumper, and i wanted to mount my license plate on the left side, and add 2 reverse lights outside of the clevis'. but very similar design, id if i have enough room on my stepside though.

I would put the license plate in the middle and then reverse lights toward the outside. I think it would look better that way especially since you have a stepside. |
