I’m making good progress now 🙂
brackets complete
measuring for the brackets
drilled holes again to make the cuts
cut
…and i didn’t even screw up……nice fit around the brackets
That’s where I stopped for the night. I want it to sit closer to the body, so I need to remove some more of the receiver because it is up against the rear crossmember. I can take off at least another 1/2-3/4″
Just some more pictures…
I picked this up from a Farm & Fleet while downstate this weekend.
measured up and marked for the receiver
drilled holes at all four corners all the way through so that both sides line up
cut out
after some time with the die grinder
nice tight fit all around
I just need to get the steel for the mounts. I’m going with 2x3x3/8″ angle iron.
I’m also going to flush mount the receiver to the bumper by turning around the receiver tube I have and cutting it down.
Well, started on my new rear bumper last week. Got the main pieces cut, but I’m going to need to get my welder fixed and buy some steel for the mounts before I can finish.
old rock rails cut up
the main bumper
The smaller pieces will fit under where I cut off the lower quarters.
I also will be adding a 2″ receiver in the middle of the bumper.
More pics as I work on it….
The passenger side rocker is done.
I also got the interior trim and misc. stuff installed again
Also took it around the block
