    I'm in the same boat, really liked the non-wrap around bumper from Relentless, wish it was still made. Might be able to convince them to make another small batch if we get some folks to commit to buying one.

    Plate would actually be heavier than say, tube.

    Plate requires gusseting, and some sort of bar/frame to attach to.

    Not sure what it would take but I would be in for that bumper as well. Even the "Predator" front bumper that they make or made is on back order. I'd buy one of those right now as well.

    In this post @RelentlessFab says it would take a batch of at least 10-15 people committed to make another batch. That post was 2 years ago, so not sure if that still applies. But I would be in for one.

    Perfect. It will look nice when I get it black texture coated. And the hitch receiver is Class 3 rated! This is it. Thanks so much everyone!

    Please post some pictures when/if you get the bumper painted and mounted. I'm considering going this route as well because the relentlessfab non-wrap rear isn't produced any longer.

    Im the opposite I prefer wrap around, I cringe when I see offroaders not wrap that part and get the bed dented. 4xinnovations has one, you could also get a custom or get the wrap around and just have it cut.

    You have an idea what you want !!

    You have the Truck Draw and dimension the Bumper Go visit your local Fab Shops get some prices .

    Sure it will be more expensive then a run of production bumpers you will get just what you want.

    Some shops will say we don`t do that type of work others will be glad for the work though this is a bad time with prices for consumables and materials going crazy.

    Best of luck to all those looking.

    Yeah the way the rear bumper attaches, and how simple that setup looks, I'd definitely take the idea to a fab shop....or even a member on here.

    @GHOST SHIP made me some custom sliders, bringing what was simply an idea in my head, to fruition.

    I’m still trying to convince @eon_blue to let me build him a rear bumper.

    He's looking for a 4Runner; living closer to you guys, I can swing by for a get together :burp:

    I can keep my measurements saved for when I pull my rear bumper; I'll be adding a hitch to my aftermarket bumper -

    Time to sell that store bought bumper and make your own!

    It will drive you crazy till you do!! Then you might not even know why it bothers you.
