I am looking for photos, web pages, advice, plans, material, etc to
fabricate a few rear bumpers. It seems that every vanagon i know has some
sort of love-tap/dent in their rear bumpers. I have access to welders,
cutters, mills, etc (no bender though) and would like to make a burley
bumper for my bus. I want the bumper to be conservative looking.

Some add-on i was playing with are a hitch receiver, reverse lights flush
mounted, brake lights flush mounted, bike rack receiver. I would like to
make the bumper stick out about 2 or 3" farther than it currently does so
I can use it as a step as necessary.

Thanks
Matthew
