Rear bumper for hitch- crash rated

[tom4bren]

I just ordered mine.

Of course, just to be different I'm going to weld a plate to it to mount my license plate on it. We'll see how that goes.

That bumper shield looks cool, would like to see an option in diamond plate.

I was looking at one on etrailers site, but I like the compression feature to save the cladding and bending the hitch. Here's some links for the go rhino and etrailer.

The etrailer one comes with or without lights, is available for 1-1/4" or 2", or even a model that does both, and telescopes out for stepping. I still like the protection the SuperBumper gives, but I think I'd prefer the looks of the Bumper Shield.

Maybe we can all play bumper cars then.

Ditto, complements the rear tire mount very well. X 2

Same as you, the SP318.

Does the "step" feature work good with our tone hitch receiver?

Ok, earlier I mentioned that the dimention of the SuperBumper compressed exactly equals the distance from the pin to the fuel tank shield. I didn't want to take any chances that the tube would puncture the fuel tank in the event of an accident so I removed 1/2 inch from the end of the square tube on the SuperBumper.

Can you use it as a step: ABSOLOOOOOOTLY!!!

I figure there's better than 400lbs on it in that last pic.

I was able to add the extra spacer donut (2 big ones, 1 little one).

The "ratchet strap with a blanket" trick worked perfectly.

Looks like that Gen-U-Whine Tone receiver could use a drop or 2 of paint.

The bumperette looks good though.

If I regularly use my VX to haul my bikes does this become a hassle to put on and take off every few weeks for a day or two? I'm using a Thule bike carrier that mounts to my Tone hitch.
