FJ Cruiser Home Brew Rear Bumper

[FJSchmoozer]

Finally finished up the rear bumper on the FJ.

I feel good about what I got done on it this summer... Icon extended travel front coilovers with external reservoirs, Total Chaos upper control arms, rear bumper finished with hitch, rear locker hack (works in 2WD now), 12" Fox 2.5 rear shocks with external reservoirs (revalved for stiffer compression), Flowmaster exhaust, and some other minor stuff. There is still time to add spindle gussets, box in the lower control arms, adjustable track bar, front bumper, limit straps front and rear, rear bump stops, and maybe more.

if you're gonna do that much to the front end, why not just do SAS? by the way, i love the bumper. it compliments the rear quarter panels nicely

Because it's more for desert running than crawling. I don't do much crawling in it, so the mid-travel IFS setup is more than enough for the crawling that I do in it.

Good job, what'd you use for paint.

That is a GREAT looking bumper on a very well set up FJC. Nice!

Nice work! Looks much better than the stock, plastic monster of a bumper on the FJC's.

Thanks for all the compliments guys! I used Rustoleum Hammered paint. It gives it a little texture.

Solid axle and triple t-case that thing lol... well anyway Im glad you have been having fun with your chase-fj. I am excited for us to start that front bumper, sorry we had to put it on hold so we can get the race truck ready

Triple t-case? Ha ha! No worries on the front bumper... I'm in no rush. The priority is getting the truck ready so you can dominate out in Wendover.

I like that rear bumper. It really flows with the lines.
