Bloody tricky ol job!! But I did do my usual trick of over complicating things.
My initial plan of action was to rip off the trail gear bumper, which essentially it still is I guess.. Just tweaked.










Mega chuffed with it.. Still need to triangulate behind the hitch and tie in the side returns to the chassis so they can take a hit without folding

That's slick! Looks pretty original to me. I love the way it twists around the corner. Great work!

I think it looks better than the TG bumper! Good job.

I'd personally choose to add a piece of tube in place of that thin tie-in on the ends though, for extra strength. It's one of the first places that'll hit when turning around a tree. Don't forget to tie those sides in to the frame when you're triangulating your receiver, but I'm sure you already know this.

Cheers buddy!! Yea I'm gonna tie in the side returns, before it gets a hammering hopefully.. I'm gonna cut a stainless filler panel for that last section.. tomorrow with any luck

Nice one. I didn't know you had multiple threads. You should throw this in your build thread.

Good shout, I'll update the thread with some more recent pics.

Looks good and solid. I like the idea of using tubes for the bumper.

It looks amazing. Love the coloring as well. Are you selling them? My stock one is rusty and I need a fresh look. Prefer yours to the trail gear one !
