Guys,

I wanted to get these pics out to show a rear bumper I just recently made with the help of a friend.

Hopefully, the links below will work.

I think the pictures are pretty self-explanatory as far as how it's put together. I will tell you that it's made with two tubes of 2" sch 40 steel pipe and the part that goes in the frame is 20" long and uses a total of 6 bolts to hold it in place.

I plan on adding elbows for wrap around and possibly a diamond tread step plate across the top later.

My main concern is that if someone hits me now, It will rip out the frame from underneath the van.
