Looks great, would pair nicely with a front bumper with a stinger!

Most of you guys are too young to remember this but back in the 80s tube bumpers were made of 3" tubing. Anybody else remember those? I think they were more for show than function.

I wish one of the many aftermarket bumper companies would offer a super simple tube bumper like this. Everybody seems to be into those huge gladiator style bumpers.

Nice work! You said your rear bumper was the first thing you've fabbed yourself. I'm assuming you had prior welding experience?

That's absolutely awesome! Inspiring. I've often thought about going the same route but currently don't have a garage to work out of. It's good to know that when I do, fabrication is entirely possible with practice, the right tools, and patience. Where did you get your tubing bender?

I dig that rear bumper! How did you do the mounts for the rear bumper? I’m trying to plan out how I want to build my rear tube bumper and I like the sleek, low profile style of yours. Great job!
