Minimalistic Rear "Bumper"

[tobyw]

I grew tired of the bulbous, plastic rear bumper and wanted to get some scrap metal out of the shop anyway, so I took the opportunity to fabricate a new one:

Nice work, simple and clean.

I've been threatening to do something similar since I bought my JLU in April '19

Did you start with 4" sq that you ripped down to angle?

Outstanding job. I dig the look.

Good job but are you planning something to protect rear corners?

Sorry I missed this... Yes, it was actually 6" square to start with. I like to use box tubing as a starting point for stuff like this because of the rolled edge it leaves, as opposed to using angle or channel with sharp edges. Just my taste.

Yes, careful driving J/K, but seriously I haven't had a situation arise that would have damaged the corner, bumper or not, and I've been pretty much everywhere I've wanted to in this particular outfit. I just wanted something different to look at after almost 4 years.

Lol, fair enough. I love fabbed up stuff for sure. I built my bumper on my 07 back in the day but there wasn't a lot of options back then. It also taught me that I have no business building shit. Lol. Keep it up!
