New rear Bumper?

[racsan]

i got the grill guard more for wildlife than anything else, have yet to take out a deer with it though.

i need to make or build a new rear bumper, had a weird rust line form this winter, when i sprayed it down at the car wash, it turned into a through-hole. ive noticed alot of doge trucks that have really bad rear bumper rust-through. my ranger is the first ranger ive sen with a rust-through though.

I love the grille gaurd. Been thinking of getting the one from JCwhitney. Just have yet to decide weather or not it will look alright on a street truck. These rangers have a helluva sturdy front bumper from my past experiences. Ive plowed through 3 deer in the year and a half I've had my license. Once at 75, and twice driving about 45. At 75 mph the only damage was a cracked grille, a smashed headlight, and a crack in the bugflector.

My bumper is a little bent downward from proving my truck is a little tank to my buddies. But It's nothing a little straighting cant fix.

Get you an old 50's caddy fin off the rear quarter and weld smack dab in the center of the bumper or build a custom ballmount to put it on itll look good too gives your truck that jet engine look

dont know if youre still lookin for bumper alternatives but if you can find a 4 to 6 inch length of C channel cut to length i cut off and welded stock brackets and it almost looks like a roll pan possibly weld a hitch and d rings to it, i just have the license plate attached and its shaped like the front bumper the front of a dump truck. looks real mean and is ridiculously solid, need a torch to cut c channel though.
