Another bumper thread

Some cell pics of my tube rear bumper on my gen 3. Built at SD autofab by matt funkhouser.





I'll try and get some better ones of the final painted product... maybe even some action ones crashing it into stuff

Thanks, tried to give it a little southern california prerunner style while still having it be strong and able to take a beating. haven't trail tested it yet but summer's over and it's time to start wheeling.

My only concern is you blocking off that body vent. Looks really good though.

Yeah, what is that ugly thing for anyways? Just looked like a good place for water to come inside and hangout with my carpet. I routed the sunroof drain tube out the hole and siliconed it in place.
