Re: Custom bumpers
hahah NEVER forget the Beer!!
There is no spare mounted right now cuz I need to get two new studs into my mount. The last of my 1Ton Project changes from 6lug to 8.
The gate is secured to the bumper with the eye bolt you see. I welded a big nut on the inside of the bumper. On the gate's bottom you can see I added a foot/pad for the gate to rest on the bumper. I like the eyebolt as I know it is secure and tight. Some of the latches I have seen just didn't seem to be strong. I did NOT want this gate jumping around on me.
Anyway Hope this helps with your project!
Burt
