Who knows how much RL's rear bumper weights?

What about a rear hitch?

I ask b/c I finally bought some metal and am going to start welding Monday on my rear bumper, I went to get the metal and when I was looking I saw a peice that I thought would be perfect, when I lifted it I thought that it weighed about 75# and that it was 1/4" thick well I was WAY off on both lol it weighed 135# and is 3/8" thick, but it will be stronger to a point of over kill but with some trimming it wont be too bad, its an 8" I-beam and Ill trim off 2" and the lip that sticks out.....good thing I bought OME HD's

lol thanks I might start going for his friends

okay I weighed my rear hitch when I took it off and it was 45# and its for sale, but I would really like to know what RL's rear bumper weighs

I weighed all the metal I plan on using and it came to ~95# is that too much :?:

....or if I use 1/4" it was about ~75#

well if u factor in that u are removing the rear hitch then it only add 50 lbs so thats not to bad i geuss its like having a small child ridding with you all the time :lol:

so u should be ok in my opinion.
