Vigo Rear bumper

Post by Jurgen10 »

So during the desember holidays my rear bumper got a bit... umm ... modified whilst giving a lift to the two skiewies that carried our daily camp setup at Black Rock.

I then had a perfect excuse to buld a new / replacement bumper.

It started off as a couple of scribbles:

Got a piece of 3mm steel bent at a engineering shop and then I had to get creative (on the lapa table)

I also had some help:

And finally got it painted and mounted.

Still need to properly set the reverse camera, as now I have a screen filled with the tow ball when reversing :) I also need to add some recovery points.

I have a "slighly used" chrome rear bumper to give away if anyone has a use for it. (I don't know if it is an original toyota bumper, was on the bakkie when I bought it and it seems very flimsy...)
