After my body lift my rear bumper never looked the same. So today i got bored and decided to build a new one. Still needs paint and the top plate. Let me know what you think.

I plan on moving it up just havent had the time. Ya i will try to snap you a pic.
 






you know what would make it look more awesome???

if you too that lower bar back off and angles the ends up to flow into the top bar. That would also prevent you from hanging the bumper on the corners as bad.
 






Never really thought of that. I cant really picture it though.
 






like take out that outer vertical bar on both sides then cut the bottom tube at an angle so you can reweld it on there to slope up to the top bar at the outside edges.

I am just shopping for ideas b4 i start cranking out xplorer parts for mine. I love the bumper though!:D
 






Now all you need is a winch back there:D
 






Nice bumper... I have to agree with them when I say you need to curve up the bottom piece with the top one. (Think of making a right triangle). I can see those bottom pieces that are sticking out getting caught all the time.

The red is the way you would bend the bottom pieces up.
