I just trashed my rear bumper trying to pull a dead tractor out of the mud :(. She aint show, just a hard workin 4x4, any tips on what rear bumpers will fit....don't mind doing a little bit of bracket welding.

you mean from a donor vehicle? or other luv years?

you can use pretty much anything with the right fabrication skills. some smaller early 80's yotas bumpers will fit with some work. or you can just make a tube bumper.

Was looking at this on ebay, 86 isuzu pup bumper. welding up a tube bumper is second choice, I don't have a notcher so likely I'd have to make up a once piece using 3 inch cold rolled pipe.

In the past I have used 2 by 4 steel tube to make a bumper. Easier to find and if somebody rear ends you they are gonna be more careful next time!

That ebay seller won't measure for me, which means they are just a drop ship reseller. A single 4" tube would be simple, I'd just leave it straight and weld the brackets from the original on it, but i might just buy this ebay one and try it. If I could find stock width of a 86 pup bed it would be great, but no luck on the interwebs.
