My Steel Armadillo Rear Bumper and my Mod's

[1USMC]

I have been VERY happy with my SA rear steel bumper. So here are a few photos of it and my minor mods.

Holes drilled for license plate holder and light power...





Primed ....










I can always count on getting help from one of my best friends !!!!!

I'm sometimes end up in situations when I can have people climbing all over my rig .. so I added an extra mounting point for the end of the tire carrier.

That's looking awesome! How long have you been rocking the SA rear bumper? Would love to seem some full shots of your XK.... between the 4" superlift and the rear tire on the SA bumper, that's a sweet rig!

Thanks.. Its been a lot of work over a long time.. so now I'm finally going to try and post my successes and " others '
I have completed more projects i will try and post later ( dual battery, OBA etc) still have SA's sliders to install and roof rack with additional lights to wire.. and on and on and on.. you all know that story !!!

I always have 3-5 mobile radios ( permanent and removable) on my primary vehicle. So I decided to try and route my cables and future wires ( for b/u lights etc.) in the frame of the tire carrier. Wow.. talked to Doc ( a lot) about the internal structure etc... Figured I could make it work.. The hardest part for me was trying to figure out how to route the wiring and coax from the carrier and to some how get it into the vehicle.. OK many thoughts and approximately 6 months later I finally came upon an Ideal that I thought might work.. duel Swivel AN fittings and hose.. So far it has worked great !


Holes for wires and cables.....

Clip helps as a safety catch also.. trust me I need all the extra help I can get with my luck..








I was was looking at my old class 4 receiver I had removed, and decided to have the safety chain mounts cut from them and welded on the very back of the bumper. I also still retained the original attachments points that came with the SA steel bumper.








I know this one looks a little strange but the "long vertical thing" is with my hitch mounted.
