Rear bumper for hitch- crash rated

[VX KAT]

Looking at their site.....I wonder how good the Bumper Shield XL is.

Sue, is the SuperBumper easy to remove if I needed to use my clevis shackle insert?

Takes 2 seconds..just unlock & remove the hitch pin, then pull it out. It weighs around 15 lbs.

Kat, did you buy the Model SP318 or the Model SP424....the difference is the size of the bumper....I think you got the Model SP318.

Yes, that's correct, I got "SPAREBUMPER Model SP318 - Black".

Forgot to mention, he threw in a free chrome locking hitch pin so call or email him and ask for it. (Tom, call them and ask for the free hitch pin).
The president, Jeff Mohr, is very responsive to emails and you actually get a response from him...(I know this cuz I also spoke with him by phone).

KAT, I ordered the 424 so as soon as it arrives, I'll get some pix loaded for comparison.

Jeff offered me a free locking pin too but since I already had one, I told him not to bother. He's supposed to throw in an extra set of those rubber thinggies to protect your license plate though.

IMHO, the bumper shield is gonna get caught on rocks-n-stuff too much for you to use it off road to protect you arse cladding.

Oh sure Tom, you had to order the bigger thicker bumper.....to go along with your OFH.....you must have hitch-envy!





j/k
I'm not wild about the thicker tube (3.25" vs. 4") in model 424 but I do like the wider size (18" v 24"), so side by side pics will be interesting to see.

The thicker tubing probably will look OK on yours with the OFH, it's kind of proportional. It continues to grow on me aesthetically...and Teddy likes it cuz he can finally get in the truck on his own....you recall Teddy, my pet badger/tazmanian devil.....but it will be nice to compare our hiney pics! I might upgrade to the bigger one.....oh wait, I've already done that.

Funny, my quest started out to find something that WOULD take the scrapes when wheeling instead of the cladding or gas tank skid...now I don't want to mess up my hitch or my bumper...

KAT,

I know you're JK but in reality I'm actually going for a slightly more benign look. This is what I'm running now (& you can see why I need to add a license plate mount to it).

BTW, I towed the trailer home from work last Thursday. I completely forgot that I had switched to the receiver without the safety chain hoops. I really need to rig up something on my receiver hitch for that.
