Bumper and Slider Tweaks; Attn. Lance, Robinhood

Here are the unmolested pics of how I now keep my taillights and rear quarters in tact. Thought this might help you out and give Bighead some ideas of how me made it right.

Hoops One


Hoops Two

Yeah, I just need to get my friend to buy a tube bender.

I like it Adrian.

Thanks. I think it turned out well.

I went into the deal not caring how it looked as long as it was functional. Now it works great and looks all right. On the same spot in Terminator, I put the whole truck into it without issue. Some times I think it is good to have the Rockstomper sliders that mount the body to the frame so I have less body lean into stuff like these hoops.

The story goes I should be able to put the whole weight of the truck into them and stand it up.

I think it looks pretty good, can't make it look good without a bender though. Who bent and welded it?

Any pics of the entire rear bumper? Looks like a nice design - custom?

Yeah, it is Rockware custom and they added the hoops after I killed a taillight and took a dent.

It used to have a tire carrier out back, but after a full throttle assault on Double Whammy, I cut it off and added this other stuff.

Darren had a bunch of specific pics of it from another thread, I will try to find the link. I have never taken pics of it just to show the bumper, but I have a couple good trail shots of it.

I dig it too.
That looks very cool, and is functional at the same time.
