Default $50 rear bumper.

so i went to ok4wd the other day and i was helpin my buddy throw tires and i notices this really nice steel bumper sitting in the back in the junk pile. i saw it was a little messed up but i can weld and such so i asked him how much they wanted for it and the owner said fifty bucks. so i took it home, cut off the old mounts(it was for a tj but with some minor "tweaking" with a hammer i got it to wrap around the sides), painted the small scratches, and am getting ready to put on the brackets i made. i just figured i would give you guys a sneak peak and see if you had any suggestions before i put it on.

Looks good, Maybe you could shorten the sides so they don't stick out as far.
