Installed a rear bumper/Sewer line holder

Happy travels!

It's all welded, I put a 45 degree angle piece on the end of the 2x3 rectangular stock and then cut a beak in it, so it's welded all the way around the back of the 4x4 bumper where it meets the bumper,, and then 1 1/2" on the bottom so i could have room to mount the jacks. I'll post a good picture next time I'm out at the pod. I added  a 3/4 x 2' piece on the bottom so it filled the whole stock frame rail completely. It slides in nice and easy but doesn't wiggle, when flush to the pod the new bumper arms slide in 32". I am drilling 2 holes in the arm and the frame rails for slide-in pins to lock it in place. I don't know if the extension thing will work as planned but I'm going to play with it and see, I would like a platform with bike tire rails so I could just lift the bike up and set it on the rails. May be to much weight, so we'll see.

Glue guy,

You can see the old spare tire carrier I cut apart for the backup camera  mounted in the first picture. I had to take it off to slide the bumper out, If I find I need the ability to extend it, the set up may change. It's a work in progress and I'm sure something will come to me. My spare is mounted under the pod on a BAL carrier.

Love to see ya! The pod is down on a ranch in AG and I'll have it back up here in a couple of weeks. still need to finish up a few things on the bumper like carriage bolts from the inside to mount the jacks instead of self tappers so the sewer hose will slide in and out, final paint and such. 

I am building a conservatory onto the main house (built in 1894) out on the ranch and you could just call if your down this way, I'm there every weekday.

 The trip was amazing, 27 days 19 states, AR, VA & UT were the high points, will be back!
