New rear bumper.

[1066 Boy]

Evening all, i am thinking of making a new rear bumper for
the pick up. As you can see, at the moment it just has small
bumper corners on each side. Not exactly strong (will bend by hand)

I am thinking of cutting them off and fitting a double stack of scaffold tube.
What do you think

I reckon it would look quite good if you welded a large bit of tube between the two corner bits...

[twiss]

I also think it would look better if the whole bumper was a bit higher up and the corner bits were up near the lights

I am thinking of just below the number plate. Want to keep it as
standard as possible. I am only doing it as i will be doing competitions next
year and i know i will smash the rear lights.

I would get it right up under the lights and then mount the number plate to the bumper.

Thoses original bumpers are quite hard to find.

Don't cut them off. Just unbolt them.

Hoping to do bumper mod next week if i get the chance.
If i take the Kja bumper corners off are they any good to somebody
on here Free to a good home if you collect them.

The double scaffold tube has been done to death...can't you use the existing bumper and beef it up a bit?

[1066 Boy]

in a word no. The original one would not last 5 minutes in the type
of competitions that i do. I no that scaffold tube is old school but
its strong and it works. The body on the Kja is very good and it
would be a shame to mash it up.

Looking at your front bumper...why not fabricate something similar to go on the back, that would look pretty trick
