my guy is gonna go ahead with this. i have found one zuker that is wanting one. he will start designing it now and get on to the construction of it after zuwharrie when he can use mine tracker for a template. i talked with him today and kinda got together a rough price list.
i would imagine material will be 3/16". he can make it out of 1/8" if weight is a concern. styling will be complimentary of the front shrock bumper available for kicks now.
for a basic rear bumper with only plate (no clevis points, hitch, tire carrier or any accessory), you will be looking at about 275 bucks.
to add clevis mounts, you will be looking at an additional 35 dollars. these will be at least 1/2" thick, not the thin ones like are found on some bumpers.
to add a hitch, you will be looking at an additional 40 bucks.
he can cut out a spot for rear lights too and add a tab to mount the light if you want. probably only about 10 for this.
tire carrier will be about 200 dollars. i am sure that hilift and jerry can mounts could be had for an additional fee as well.
if you want all of the above options, you can get the loaded bumper for 500. (hilift and jerry can mounts not included.)
shipping is not included in the pricing. once he gets mine done, i can show you the quality of work. i wish we had time to get it done before zuwharrie... but if i get that, i wont be able to make the event...
if anyone is interested, pm me and i will get you in touch with him. we can make a 2 door model too, but as of now, the only person to commit to one besides myself is a guy that owns a 4 door.
mods, if this is not an appropriate post, please delete it. i just thought everyone would be happy to know we have now got someone who is willing to build these bumpers for us!
