3rd gen custom rear bumper

[lynchy wa]

G'day all, I've been searching for some pic's of a custom rear bumper/cover for 3rd gen's without much luck. Can anyone post some pic's of their's or throw up a link I may have missed? Thank's for your time.

It's a long read.. and I think it's actually a jeep bumper if I recall correctly (or based off one) But for what it's worth;

Turned out pretty good in my opinion..


EDIT -- Page 5,6,14,17,20 and a different one (as well) on 25, ..26,27,28 is where all the juice is at ;P

No worries mate I appreciate the effort hahaha, bloody good read tho'!


Yeah Nate I get a crazy idea then start looking at all the problem's I'm going to run into and those plastic bit's under the taillight's were doing my head in. I really needed some inspiration-this is a well into the future mod anyway.

Mate, you got me thinking when you said you're gonna start the spare tyre swing arm, "where the hell am I spose to put a 33" ?" which progressed into custom bumper and in that link that Brandon posted there's some good idea's on the spare too!

Will do, but it's along way away. Just abit of research to start off with. I like the style of your front bumper, and am trying to picture how that design can be incorporated into a 3rd gen's arse. In the link above Donner used steel plate to cover the gap under the tail light's left after the plastic cover was removed. To keep a tight fit on the body, I think some heavy duty rubber stip will have to be mounted between the bumper and body (on the sides anyway) to reduce/eliminate any rattles or rubbing.
