looks like a fun time volcom. how are you liking the design of the bumper? does it seem like its gonna work? (looks good by the way)

I worked on the rear bumper again last Saturday.  I actually had the rear pieces cut, notched, and tacked to the back of the bumper.  I'm too big of a perfectionist when it comes to simple stuff.  The gaps between the tubes were 1/4" off and didn't look right from the side of the rig (I needed to make the notch deeper to suck it closer to the main bumper tube).  I ended up cutting them off and didn't get a chance to grind them to fit.  I just ran Indy with the simple bumper. 

It took two good hits.  I drug the rear reciever hitch down the first big 5 foot drop into Bunker Hill.  It scratched up the rear of the tube but held up fine.  The other hit was on outside bend.  Just a mild scrape with no damage or dents to the tube.  I don't think I'm going to get the rest of it done before the Jambo so you'll see the unfinished version.
