    It was under its own weight, same as what you see here

    I'd rather do the work and be certain it'll clear, rather than spend the extra cash for an alignment that may or may not fix the problem.

    Yeah I might just end up doing it anyway.


    Anyone interested buying my TG rear bumper??

    I think I'll bob the bed sooner rather than later since I have the welder now.:D

    I thought about it, but after looking at it, I'd pretty much have to cut apart the entire thing and even then it would be a pain trying to get it all fit right. Plus I don't think the 1/4" mounting plates would line up correctly with the frame anymore.

    I'd like to use square tubing for the bumper anyway.

    Not pretty, but I ended up welding some nuts to the bottom for mounting the fenders.

    2012-05-12_13-10-06_552_572d81b266250de008eb89d89945a2528c7a522c.jpg

    Found a local supplier for steel so I was trying to think up a bumper based on some of the others over on TTORA.
    I'd like to feel comfortable enough to tow a small trailer or pop up camper if I wanted to. Would the design in "A" suffice? Or should I box the frame, add an inside mounting plate, gussets, etc. like in "B"? Or something else? :notsure:

    Yeah I did,just past the the hole for the lower mounting bolt for the fender, hence the need to weld on new nuts/bolts.

    I dunno, I figured I'd try to keep the weight down as much as possible. :notsure:
