Our plan for the bumpers included immediately cutting off the old ones as they were really nothing much more than a few pieces of scrap angle iron. They went back to the junk yard from where they had no doubt come. We then designed from scratch, and had James Korte at Wyld Rides Custom Auto in Coppell fabricate, new custom bumpers
. They weren't cheap but then again there aren't too many others like theses out there either... these are built very heavy duty indeed. They're made of plate steel on a sturdy all steel tubular frame. And both the front and back bumpers are welded directly to the Scout's frame. There are NO BOLTS in these bad boys! A receiver hitch has been added to both the front and back bumpers for good utility. There's also are a pair of bow shackles on the front bumper. We left plenty of room on the front for the monster winch we would be installing later. A good protective design feature is that these bumpers are about 1/2" wider than the vehicle on each side. This is intended to provide protection to the body from trees or other hard objects in the environment. James figured, "If you can get the bumpers through, you can get the body through!". The results are nothing short of outstanding in my opinion.
