New Rear Bumper

onelegwarren · 12-26-2009, 04:07 PM

I just bought this steel bumper from a guy on CraigsList for $600. It was off a F250 pickup. I had a mobile welder come and retrofit the mounting tabs to fit my van. Spent most of today installing the in and out fresh water valves, compressor and water pump switches and air hose quick disconnect, air inlet for my airbags (I had to cut small tabs out of the lic. plate to make them fit) and lastly the backup camera that is wireless from the dash. My headlight switch activates the camera power because I wired it up to the lic. plate light.

If anyone knows the brand of this bumper please let me know. It is not Aluminum. The stock tire I have in the photos is not the tire Im going to be using. Tires on the van are 315-75-16 BFG's so Im on the lookout for a good used one.

I had seen that bumper for sale on craigslist and ebay. He said it was made for a sportsmobile. Did he change the mounting to fit his truck? Looks good.

Looks like a Road Armor, didn't know they made dual wheel carriers with the bumper

Nice install.
