    Previous owner cut the square tubes, welded in some solid round tube in, put them back together and drilled holes for a 3/4" bolt and made them removable.

    I really enjoy being able to take them off in the winter so they don't fill up with snow and ice and drip in my garage....

    If you need more inspiration...

    ..check my gallery for pics of the Rock Rails I designed.



    When you say "same type of bumper"..what do you mean?
    An Off road Rock Bumper?
    There are a few of us working on that right now...if thats what youre talking about.

    ...the front cladding will require cutting for what I ( and a few others) have in mind.

    Something like this photoshop mock up is my goal....
