    Just had a new rear plate bumper built by RPM Fab in Tempe, AZ. This is the same bumper they already make, however, I had them move the hitch and plug behind the license plate for a cleaner look and more clearance.

    They liked this version and will now be offering it on their website. I told Don at RPM I'd throw up some pics. http://rpmfab.com

    Think they would do a group discount or taco world discount?
    I'd like to get rid of my rear-end chrome but my wallet is pretty dry at the moment.

    That's one of the better rear bumpers I have seen. I wouldn't like the hitch being behind the liscense plate since I always have a hitch on. But really nice bumper!

    did they adjust their pricing? I called them once for a quote for a front bumper and I was told they start at 1600, rears 850. Needless to say I'm still shopping around. LOL

    **** for those of you too lazy to check out the website (like me initially)

    Fronts start at 950 and rears 800. Looks like they adjusted prices a bit, still pricey considering some of the GB prices and the other bigger name guys are in the same ballpark. BUT kudos to another local shop in the Phx area... May have to call them up to see if they do skids.

    I don't know the actual weight although It wasn't too bad when we lifted it. I'm guessing maybe 30/40 pounds heavier after losing factory hitch and bumper. Probably similar to most 3/16 steel rear bumpers.

    This replaces the factory hitch and has a built in hitch behind the bumper. They also have a version with a built in hitch below the bumper.

    Yes they do skids and sliders as well. A member on here had the whole package installed a while back.

    The images work fine for me on page 2. The ones on page 1 Do Not.
