Title: HD rear bumpers
Post by: muddyjames on October 31, 2007, 16:40:54: Next on my wish list is a heavy duty rear bumper.

I have looked on Paddocks web site to see Â£208 +vat. I am hugely shocked about this.

Is there anywhere cheaper to buy them so I can see how many pennies I have to save for a long time?? :lol:

For now I think I will just get a end cap!!!!! A bit cheaper!

Post by: J B on October 31, 2007, 20:06:20: i bought the first4 bumper through paddocks, great bit of kit, and worth the money, it keeps the back end standard looking but the bumper will take all that you can throw at it 8)

Got one from Paddocks JB and gonna have to disagree - ripped mine almost clean off at Shottle in July - broke the weld on the two outside brackets.

The best (imho) but it doesn't come cheap is the Scorpion one. That said, the PAddocks one isn't too bad. Just gotta be careful - I hit a rock with it that was hidden under the soil upon entering a 'bomb hole' - actually bent the ruddy thing .... albeit only a bit! :shock:

Post by: Thrasher on October 31, 2007, 21:58:43: I've got a Scorpion one on mine. As all of the HD bumpers look the same .. I went for the one with the nicest welds and of course powder over galv ;-)

Just luck that it was Scorpion I guess.

Post by: Steve ray on October 31, 2007, 22:01:08: One tip I've found that works a treat on HD bumpers - black Plasti-cost paint is great if ever you need to 'touch up' the odd scrape from off roading or a repair weld. Tis good :D
