Subject:My Recently Fabricated Rear Bumper

Guys,

I wanted to get these pics out to show a rear bumper I just recently
made with the help of a friend.

Hopefully, the links below will work.

I think the pictures are pretty self-explanatory as far as how it's put
together.  I will tell you that it's made with two tubes of 2" sch 40
steel pipe and the part that goes in the frame is 20" long and uses a
total of 6 bolts to hold it in place.

I plan on adding elbows for wrap around and possibly a diamond tread
step plate across the top later.

My main concern is that if someone hits me now, It will rip out the
frame from underneath the van.
