OK finally got some time and a little warmer weather so I got out and mounted the bumper, loosely but still got an idea where I need to mod the bumper a little.
Remember this is a prototype bumper as soon as I contact C4x4 Mike may incorporate my changes in his patterns.
So here you have the first fitting of the New Ranger Steppie Rear Bumper made by Custom 4x4 Fabrication of OK City, OK.
I need to trim some steel to allow for some movement of the bumper but thinking of mounting it a little higher so I may to trim more than I am thinking at the moment.
Everything is made of thick steel plating, the frame mounts are ¼” plate really HD and no stress marks where it has been bent.
A bolt kit comes along with the bumper, four grade 8 bolts for mounting to the frame and 8 grade 5 bolts to mount the bumper to the brackets.
C4x4 cut custom holes for my KC Backup Lights and mounted the shackle mounts to align with the frame mounting, extra strong positioning.
Take a look at the pictures and ask questions, if I can’t answer them you will need to contact Mike at Custom 4x4 Fabrication.
This guy is good, does quality work and produces a quality product, can not be beat, IMHO.
Pricing again, contact Mike at C4x4.
Mike took some drawing (sketches) and a top templet I sent to him and he produced a bumper so close to perfect I could leave it alone but a long career in Quality Assurance Engineering has made me a perfectionist and and I like thing just so.
To me this is the shop to do my work.

Left Side, I am not sure and didn’t check yet to see if the Frame Brackets are upside down.
If the bracket were reversed it might bring the bumper up some to fill the gap.
