Willys CJ2A Making a rear bumper

Still didn’t want to deal with the gas tank, but I needed to make a bumper for the rear, so that’s what I did. Pretty simple, but it seams to function the way it should.

Looks great 👍 I like it. it’s getting there

[@maxxbear5014]

Thanks Julio. It is getting there. The list keeps getting smaller.

Now that's a bumper !

[@maxxbear5014]

I knew you’d be the one to realize how heavy that angle iron was. Lol

[@HobbiesHobo]

It looks good Maxx, will the tailgate hit the hitch once it's installed?

[@maxxbear5014]

I left the opening for the Pindle hitch, but I never plan on putting one on thanks I was afraid it was gonna look kind of wonky

[@we773]

They made that way from the factory.

[@maxxbear5014]

Thanks. Yes it is. I learned that after this video but I would’ve made the bumper the same way anyway.

[@we773]

@@maxxbear5014 I agree with you don’t like the asymmetrical look and cut mine to match the other side as well. Just looks better IMOP.

Looks good. 👍Invest in a Diablo blade or other for steel, you’ll thank me later! 😂 I need bumpers that stick out for old guys. 😂👍🕺🏻🇺🇸🦬🍺

[@maxxbear5014]

You bring up Diablo blades there’s a guy at work that swears by them things I’ll go buy one. Cutting metal with that saw instead of a cut off wheel on a grinder is really nice. And save some time. Thanks Jim

i was once told by cpl dif ppl thats how they came from factory for a certian reason ! wish i rembered why ! ask metal shaper he would know im sure

[@ShnitzlHaus]

your bumper is fine, one side was longer for the license plate.

[@maxxbear5014]

[@davevanatta1965]

[@maxxbear5014]

Well, since I cut that off the driver side was long for a license plate and light the other side the tail pipe came out.
