it looks like my idea is the almost the same as yours for the rear bumper. the only thing i had different was that i am gonna try to bend the bumper twice so the bumper is also the bumper mount on the outside frame. but everything else is the same.. tell me how it works- then i can change my design to make it better ![Thumbs Up :thumbs:](https://board.marlincrawler.com/Smileys/marlin/thumbs.gif)
I was originally going to build mine that way. I'm still learning to bend tube so I tried to minimize the amount of bends that I could screw up
i see your side hoop is close to covering up turn signal- are you going to leave the hoop at that height and worry about the turn signal, i feel that those lights do not produce alot of light and even without a hoop there it might still not be seen. ( i know, i know- its a rockcrawler thomas= who cares.) just wondering?
The turn signals are going away. I kinda put them on as a temp fix until I could wire in a trailer taillight converter that I bought last year (to make the red LED's blink as a tailight). Those yellow LED's are leak. They can only be seen at night. I'll just weld up the holes I drilled in the sheetmetal tailight holders. The bottom inch or 2 of the red LED's might be covered but there's 4 inches of light above so that should work out OK.
