21.5 pounds of bumper...... GONE!

Got the back bumper off, hopefully this will help some on my mission to do something our "great" leaders are apparently unable to accomplish....

Put a roll pan for the rear bumper. It'll look good and save u gas money.

That looks pretty good! Although in my tiny highway tripper, I would probably spare the brush guards...lol. I do plan to spend more time in the "plastic shop" this weekend, maybe a rear pan and some frontal aero damming and a half-pan are in the works

Hey, that's not very nice mister... and I also stated (not in this thread) that I plan to replace it with a pipe bumper that's more efficient.... Like that bumper would've made alot of difference anyways!

Nice effort/ commitment

I think you'll be ok out back on a pickup, I wouldn't do it/ recommend it, but I think you will be ok.
