New custom rear bumper!

[JamminG4Jim]

Well, I finally got the bumper installed!
These pic's aren't the best quality, sorry. I'll take more if/when the sun comes out again!

It has 2 gas can holders along with the Hi-lift Jack holder. Ron From Ron's Custom Shop (The Diff Guard Guy) is the guy who fabb'd it up for me! Turned out great!

Here's one with the tire carrier/etc swung out:

Pics work for me.

Why do you have an X-Terrain spare? I know you can run them anti-directional for 50 miles or so but...

When I get a full sized spare I'll probably get a non directional MT.

 

[JamminG4Jim]

I made the pics a little smaller. Look ok to you all?

I only plan to run the xterrain anti rotation long enough to get back to base camp. The X is trailered to runs now, so I won't have to run the tire at freeway speeds rotating the wrong way.

I Might just pick up a non rotational spare for a extra one. Good Idea, Alec! Thanks!

the pics work for me now... looks good... although the tire is very high up limiting rear visibility, but since it is a trail only truck, you dont really need to see out the back anyways....

 

[JamminG4Jim]

I never look back anyways!!! That's what spotters are for!!!

It's only up a little higher than where the old tire carrier had it.
I like it where it is now cuz it's easier to hold the tire at that height than 8-10 inches lower.

Plus the big FORD emblem already obscures the view!!!

Jim, did you get the other Bumper Pics I emailed to you. Ron

 

[Black Magic]

That looks rock solid!

Ron,
I did get the pic's, thanks!
I've been really ill the past week. Sux, bigtime!
I did manage to find some straps for the gas/water cans at Viking Electric this morning! 48" ones fit with about 3 inches to spare! They'll work until i can find 48" straps with a ratcheting thing on them. I think the ratcheting one's will stay tight better. We'll see...

Black Magic,
Thanks! Rockett is the guy who built it!!!
