- Rear Bumper Bar Homemade Build. A different video to our usual. Please let us know if you enjoyed it and we will make more of this type of content for you.
In this video I show how I built the rear bar for the Jeep JK Wrangler. Built with off cuts and scrap material I had laying around with the only real cost being the bolts.
The aim was strength and sleekness for off road use. I did not want it to be bulky with huge overhangs to get hung up on rock ledges etc. The recovery points needed to be very strong and as such they mount directly into the chassis 250mm and fixed with 2x16mm and 2x12mm high tensile bolts. The chassis is sandwiched between a 10mm plate and the 20mm recovery plate.
I also wanted to protect the quarter panels behind the rear wheels but did not want to loose to much clearance or have a large protrusion. These follow the body line closely are made from 100x50mm 5mm wall RHS.
The main section of the bumper is 100x150mm 4mm wall RHS with one side cut out and sits tightly around the rear cross member with almost no overhang keeping the departure angle as high as possible.
Some inspiration for this off road bumper came from the Evo Manufacturing Fascia Bumper as that gave the best clearance for off road use however does not offer as much protection as I would have liked.
At the end of the build section of this video we have a couple of video clips from the first outing.
Hope you enjoy this new to us style of video and if you would like to see more build, maintenance and modification videos be sure to let us know.
Thanks for watching. - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
Let us know below 👇 if you'd like to see more of these modification type videos 👍
Very sweet bumper!! Really like how you contoured it to fit around the sides & the tow points are absolutely perfect as well, not going to get any stronger than that. A very impressive job, my respects!
Thanks 🍻
Looks bloody good I reckon. You have very good skill.... yep, definitely would like more of these type videos as well as the off road.
Thank you so much. I'll try and do more of this sort of videos, one tip from the comments so far is the music was bad so i will learn for the next one. Any ideas for improvement are always welcome.
awesome work!
Nice work on the bar. Good man. Thought you were in the US until I saw the patrol getting snatched at the end 😂 I need to make one for GQ this weekend.
Haha cheers man 👍
great job on the build.
Damn, I regret buying the weld-on clevis mounts. They way you made yours to pass through the bumper itself, part of the actual frame support just made me re-consider how I'm building my bumpers. Thanks!
You're welcome, im glad it has given you an idea or two 😊👍
Awesome job great looking bar👍👍
Thank you very much
Great work.....!
yeah keep doing the mods. i have NFI on how to weld and love watching people come up with cool shit.
Turned out great 👍 nice job
Thanks a lot 👍
Amazing job
Thank you 👍👍
Great build! Looks pro.
Thanks!
Looks good I wish it ran a little smoother with your fenders
awesome work.. i reckon you should do the whole bar in woodgrain finish! :)
Haha that would certainly be unique 😂
Great job. I would have included jacking points for a high lift, but that's just me,
Yeah, do more mod vids.
Great job, creative. 👍Why are land Rover and Jeep fans always around, very similar cars? Maybe waiting for a new defender?
I guess they both have similar influence all the way back to the willys.
looks great. Chris' car must have been pretty stuck at the end! Might do a similar vid for my rear quarter chop and rear bar
Cheers man yeah he was on the belly pretty hard.
Really nice! Do you think this design (strength) would support a swing out tire mount?
Yes i believe it would however i would add some plate onto the bar where you want to attach the carrier.
Which material it's chassis made of
Any chance you made a video on adding mudflaps to that bumper? Will you add a tow hitch to that?
I considered adding a tow hitch to it but decided to notch the bar and retain the factory tow hitch arrangement. That way it could be bolted off for more clearance off road.
Here is a video of the removable mud flaps i made th-cam.com/video/keCTwrJx2k0/w-d-xo.html
thats a decent build really well done and strong, gotta ask what welder you run to do that 20mm plate? i maxed my shitty glassless mig out at 6mm plate and 0.8 wire
Thank you, yes turned out strong 💪 I use a Lincoln 250 welder.
came out sick man, are you a fabricator by trade?
No im not man but i like to have a go. I'll make the video of the front bar for the 110 soon, i think you'll like it.
worst music ever lol
Sorry about that. Its probably our first video in this style. We usually dont put any music at all. Hopefully an improvement on the next one of this type.
