The old bumper held up pretty well - - Smittybilt dual tube bumper purchased in '98, swing away tire carrier added in '02; but the Smittybilt was never designed to carry the load, especially bouncing around off-road. Had to have the hinge re-welded a few times over the years, and decided the time to fix it was now...
Found a guy on ClassicBroncos.com that makes bumpers and he agreed to make one for me. Kind of tough making it a few states away, but with a few measurements, photos etc., worked out okay. Still had to do a little work to get it to fit right, but a great improvement over what I had. . . Like the tube style, really compliments the James Duff front bumper.
Should be all fit up by next week, ready for Moab. . .
