Johnny and all,


I saw a vanagon running around the other day that had a 4" x 4" x ~4' piece
of wood bolted up to the rear of the van.  That seems like a strong, cheap,
easy solution to the bumper issue.


others i have seen include ones that can be purchased from volks cafe, and
fastforward.ca


Both are really nice options, but arent cheap.


I was thinking about welding up some schedule 40 pipe and making my own, but
i wasn't sure how hard it would be to get the bolting to line up since i am
a novice welder.  still may go for it at some point.


cheers,
-james
