My Marlin/Trail Gear Rear Bumper
I combined Marlin's, and Trail Gear's designs to build my bumper. I used 1/2'' plate where it bolts to the frame all the way out to the end where I drilled holes for recovery points. Quarter inch plate on the uprights, and 1 3/4'' HREW tubing for the rest.
I built it over Memorial Day weekend, and had a blast doing it. Aside from sliders, this was my most technical build using my tubing bender, and I really wish I had Bend Tech for some of the bend angles.
I know, I should have washed my truck before taking pics.

89, I have a ProBender tubing bender. It might take a few minutes to do a bend, but I am happy with it. Their customer support is great, and I might dare say, overkill. They want you to be super happy.
There are a few flaws in the bends, and that is why on my next major build, I am going to buy Bend Tech software.
Thanks for the compliments. I really enjoy bending, and most of all welding.

I am using my old 85 4Runner frame from project "Wabbit". About all that is left is the frame. Chassis should be here mid June I hope.
