I need to ask some questions on details of making my own rear bumper so I thought I would start a thread to keep it all together.
I am not great a planning so will be cutting and shutting as I go to make it look right and hopfully strong enough.
Dont really need something super tough as only a expedtion truck but we will see.
Would like to bring the s7des out to give the wheel arches a bit of protection. Lots of the aftermarket ones dont really do this. Then going to add some brackets to get the wings supported to the chassis.
Mainly going to be made from a piece of folder steel into a channel. Now is 3mm with some gussets going to be strong enough? It will have a swing spare wheel and may be some jerry cans on the other side but a bit latter on.
Stay tuned
