Did you fab the rear bumber yourself? Or just modify a store-bought?

I built it from scratch. The tire pivots down to the ground and you can walk up the back of it into the bed. Something I dream'nt up and built. Turned out pretty good.

I had it straddled but my tires just gave up gripping and flop. It was a cool day(for Moab).

Thank you all for the nice feedback, she is in the shop again to re-engineer the lower rear links. I don't like them hanging below the frame so I am moving them to a crosmember and changing them to "J" arms. Should be fun! I wil post pics when I'm done.

I'm building a front bumper for my '95 Ext cab truck, you mind if I steal your idea? I like how nice and clean the stinger ties into the other pieces! I would also ask to steal your rear bumper design but I don't quite have the skills to fab up a magic trick like that... props on the truck, i love it :welder:

:saw: :welder: Steal away my friend, if you need different pics of it or better want to see it that could be worked out. Good luck, I think the front was way worse to build than the rear. :D

Any close ups of the tube doors? How do you like them so far? How hard is it to put your hard doors back on again?

Thanks,
