Well i had been super busy working on getting that rhd hatchback parted out and then had to do some repairs on the wifes civic.

So finally after all that and i got my garage space back a bit i decided to rip the bunper off of that other mazda truck that i repoed the other day.



Then i had to cut off the old roll pan so i could put a rear bumper back on this truck. Everybody runs roll pans and personally i think theyre played out and plus a bumper is only gonna make my truck look longer and lower...

So i ground off the body filler and found the welds.







Then i took my grinder and cutoff the pan.



Then slid the bumper under to see how imma go about mounting it. Even though this will all be redone if i decide to go irs and build a new back half...





Tailgate back on and my mess cleaned up!



Not bad for a quick 30 minute mod...

Wait, so you took off the roll pan and added a stockish bumper, or took of the stock bumper and added a roll pan?



Sorry I have a few pumpkinheads in my belly already

Removed the roll pan and put on a stock mazda bumper. Been looking for one forever and turns out the single cab mazda i sold had a bumper that i could use lol...

Wish it was chrome, but oh well

I know money money money, but can't you just get it chromed?
considering a valve cover is 300-400 a bumper would be very expensive



i prefer the bumper on a lot more, plus you can drag it and tow a dumped or bagged trailer

Well i still am not 100% sure on my paint scheme but as of right now i will be running chrome bumpers. So i have no choice but to have them chromed or buy new bumpers...

Gotta pay to play
