Blubaja Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 I am interested in making a one off rear tube bumper for my BAJA(Slippy). The front is pretty much taken care of. The rear tho....I keep catching it on bumps and it keeps coming out of the clips. Side note* I was lighty rear ended many months ago, all the top clips came out of the bumper, I never wanted to get it fixed..no time, no other vehicle* Anyway..Anyone else think about doing this for a BAJA? I'm sure you have done it to the older vehicles. I am just looking for tips and ideas. Thanks, Frank X. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flowmastered87GL Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 Alot of people have been thinking about it... its just hard to figure out where to cut the old bumper off. I belive the bumper skin actually goes all the way around the bottom up to where the mudflaps are. So you would most likely have to cut it somewhere, or have the tube bumper wrap WAY around.

scoobyclimbs Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 Mudrat was thinkin' about making one for the outback/baja rear tube bumper. But he needs a donor car. I like my factory rear bumper for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blubaja Posted December 25, 2005 Author Share Posted December 25, 2005 I would like to have my car be the donor. I cannot get it out to him tho. I would be taking the whole plastic bumper off. I know it would look odd with it off tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mudrat79 Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 If you don't care about the cosmetic aspect of it, Meaning the fact that the skin runs really high around the back and sides of the rear taillights....I can get a Donor here , and Build one for you....I was originally goi ngto build one very similar to the Brat bumper, but The bumper skin is the issue.... Give me a call on my cell, and we can chat more about it..... P.S. Are you the one interested in buying a slightly used Front....from an outback..? I'm working on it today.... Chat soon, John 541-232-9958 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
