Made some progress on the rear bumper build this weekend. I made the brackets to slide into the unirail, and opened the rear of the unirail for access.
I used the same tubing for the brackets that I used to make the bumpers.
No worries, the grade 5 hardware was just for mock up purposes. I'll installing grade 8 when it goes on for real.
Once I get the brackets finished, there will be a total of 20 bolts holding it in place, that should be plenty!! LOL!!
A shot of the inside of the bumper. I want the best departure angle possible, so the reciever hitch is tucked in to nearly flush with the outer surface of the bumper.
Bumper clamped in place to check the depth in which it will sit. It is right where I wanted it to be. Now I have to finish the brackets, so I can tack it together.
This shot shows how flush the bumper fits.
I'm hoping to have this done in a couple more visits to the shop, so far it's coming along well.
