Well after getting tired of bending the rear bumper into the bed all the time I decided to build a new one. I cut the lower bed sides off and went for a tube design. Its not done yet but getting close so heres some pics. I replced the rearcross member with a piece of 2"x4" .250 wall square tubing also. That way I had a good spot to mount the bumper to. I still have to cut the ends of the tubing off at the back of the fender flare, then bend another piece like the MC bumpers that will go up the bedside to protect the tail light. Then cap off all the ends, weld in the reciever and D rings then its finishe. Heres some pics of the process i went through, nothing to special. Let me know if you guys have any ideas that would improve on it. Thanks.
