Clownmeat and Yoterman87's rear bumper build thread

[Yoterman87]

Any progress? When is this going to get done?:thumb3:

Hopefully they will get done this week. We ordered our hinge and latches friday.

 

[Clownmeat]

Got one all welded up with both sides on, just waiting on the hinge and latch kits so we can make the tire swing and finish it up.

Looks awesome, cant wait to see it in paint.

Have you considered bracing the sides?

 

[Bandit Runner]

Looks good. What are you using for hinge and latches?

Yes there will be bolt in side braces to the frame.

A kit we found that includes a over center latch and a 2000 pound roller bearing hinge for about $75.

Any more specific info? Manufacturer? Link?

I ask because I am designing a new rear bumper with a swing out.

Thanks.

I had some time today so i was finally able to get the doors for my compartments all tacked up

our bumpers on our runners for fitment

 

[gannonrt]

I'm confused. What are the doors for? Where will the tire carrier spindle be installed?

 

[Yoterman87]

They are for the storage compartments. On the right side below the tail light

this bumper looks wayyy to heavy

Too heavy for what? We are not building racecars. Lol. We both have OME heavy coils that are good for an extra 300lbs. As the bumper sitts now it only weighs about 100lbs and we don't have too much more weight to put on. Especially since the spare your was originally at the back of the truck.

i doubt you would even notice it, being so low on the 4run.
