[QUOTE="zukkev, post: 1456100, member: 17121"] Well, first order of the day out back was to get the rear bumper removed. The welds on this weren't much better than the front spring perches were. So, for giggles, I decided to see just how strong they were! Wrapped a strap around a tree, hooked chain to strap and to each end of the bumper...and gave her a tug! :redneck: The welds themselves held ok, but what it was welded to? Let's just say body mount sheetmetal and the stock rear crossmember is [B][U]not[/U][/B] a good place to weld a bumper to! :haha: The upside is once I got all that crap outta the way & the frame horns cleaned up, it gave me a clean slate to build from! :D [/QUOTE]
