Your Thoughts on This Rear Bumper
http://sandiego.craigslist.org/ssd/pts/3065006084.html
What do you think of it?
I don't particularly care for my stock bumper and this is a local guy; thought I might give him some business. I wouldn't use that bumper receiver to actually tow anything (I have a real tow receiver already) and probably wouldn't use those D-ring blocks as recovery points (still use the real receiver for that). But that bumper receiver would be handy for my receiver bike rack while I'm towing a travel trailer with the real receiver. And the D-ring blocks would be nice to hang spiffy shackles off of...
Anything to get rid of that stock bumper.

I just had the bumper off a few months ago to install the receiver, so I imagine it won't be too hard to remove. The guy says he'll take of $25 if I don't want the bumper receiver. Like I said, it might not be a bad idea to keep it. He says my factory receiver won't interfere with the bumper. I would just rather tow with something that's tow-rated and secured better than just bumper screws.

Wouldn't tow with it. It's simular to mine and twice the price. I welded gussets from my hitch to the bumper for added strength for recovery purposes.

I have a similar one with my cut and fold. It looks good , its a bit shorter on the sides. The guy I baught it from has them listed on Ebay for like $200.00. You will need to make your own brackets to tie into the frame if you want to use it for recovery or to tow anything heavy. Anyways this is what mine looks like. I think it looks good as long as you have the cut and fold.
