Hey folks
I just received my new rear bumper from Bulletproof. It looks great and I like the idea of their bulletproof warranty. My question: Does anyone have thoughts about modifying the way it is mounted?--specifically I showed the bumper to my welding buddies and they suggested welding a channel to the rear cross-member and cutting or drilling the bolt holes for the bumper so I wouldn't have to drop the gas tank to get to the bolts. Once it is on I wouldn't think there would be much reason to worry about taking it back off but they like the idea just for ease of mounting it. We would have to torch off the bolts that hold the stock bumperettes since they are rusted on pretty well.
Also thought of using a a closed rail welded on with holes for access to the mounting bolts and put a cap on the end or ends. Might be a cool place to store pry bars, BFS or other long pokey things that don't fit well into tub storage. We are just thinking about these ideas at this point. Any ideas or input would be appreciated./wwwthreads_images/icons/smile.gif
