Anyone install an aftermarket rear bumper

stattonmw · Dec 17, 2009

Saw one that I really liked a few weeks ago on a thread listed "pics of your iq" and I just spent an hour trying to find the same thread and no luck. So, any help would be great including pics of your bumper and how you like it! Thanks

Perfect thats the one I was looking for! Is this the one that you are currently using? If so, how do you like it?

Are you or did you remount the factory bumper back further to make it easier to grab? Relocating the factory bumper is a freebee upgrade.

I just rotated the one on my '10. Wasn't any room for the bare fingers, let alone with gloves on. Didn't cost a cent.

I am working on a new design. I have a couple more tweaks and should be ready for sale after the new year.

That looks awesome, any price yet?

* never mind, I am blind.....Cant wait till these are available. I am getting one for sure

Looks good, any side profile pics?

I like that one. Was trying to decide between the Van-Am and the Skinz but they both are the single tube design and I've been thinking the double tube was the only way to keep the snow flap off the bumper when you bury the sled. I'm very interested in one of yours for that reason. Get that thing ready to go and I'll be ready to order one.

I considered it but really didn't see the need.

The holes didn't quite line up on mine. I ended up using a round file and elongated the hole. Had to go fwd and up on mine. It only took about 30 seconds on each hole. Piece of cake.

Thanks for the feedback and interest. I will start a new thread when I have it finalized.

Hey, I've been trying to find the Cobe arms and spindles for an 06 switch without any luck. Where should I look? Also any plans on the old style chassis rear handles...again for the 06.. Thanks, John

Shoot me a pm and I can keep you up to date. I haven't released the arms and spindles yet. Also they should fit the 06 just fine since 05-10 use the same mounting points. Just different spindles and swaybars...
