Rear Tube Bumper Build

OK here is my rear tube bumper build. I used the stock hitch frame brackets and worked off of those. I am welding in a 3" dia 0.250 wall tube between the brackets. Everything will be out of .250" wall. I am just tacking everything together for now until I get it the way I want, then I will remove it and fully weld it and paint it.

I started on the side hoops I used 1.25" dia tube 3/16th's wall. We dont have a tube bender at work so I tried my best using some elbows that we had lying around.

Glad you posted a build thread on that because I saw it in your avatar and was going to ask you for details.
Very well done. Love the upper corner hoops too.
Thanks for posting all that.

Yup it's completely line-xed
If you have any questions about the tube bumper just ask I have more pics that I didn't post.

Everytime I see a Power Wagon like this I feel like mine still needs some serious work. With threads like this I can see that this forum is going to be tough on my wallet.

I can't wait till I get home in Nov time frame, as that is one the first things I am going to do it "OX" will be going in for some sculpting, Spoke to Whitey about his bumper, and I plan on doing something between what you have and Whitey. We will see, with my redneck ass there is no telling what it will turn out looking like.

Sounds good I like Whiteys and Va wagonaman better then mine. I went a little overboard could have saved some weight and use smaller tubing. Let me know if you need any help.

Hey, Danny, I didn't recognize your screen name until I saw your avatar pic. How you doing? You going to be staying on the East Coast when you get back?
