Extreme Metal Products - EMP Rear Bumper

Re: Extreme Metal Products

wow isn't that great. I have a p4 and a not only a bumper without bolts but it doesn't fit if I did have them. Love it

Re: Extreme Metal Products

How far is the bed from full tilt?

Re: Extreme Metal Products

Thanks. I was thinking just notch the bracket. I don't know if there would be enough material left if you did that.

Re: Extreme Metal Products

By the way how difficult was the install? Seems like a pain to pull the bed apart but I haven't looked at it yet.

Re: Extreme Metal Products

Hondasxs when EMP sends you new brackets if you don't have to send back your old ones I would be willing to buy them from you for a fair price. I was going to fab my own brackets similar to your cardboard template, but I would have more time into the brackets than my custom bumper.

Re: Extreme Metal Products

just got off the phone with emp. they will not be re-fabbing these brackets. they offered to send me a shipping label to send the bumper back. i told him i would like to hold off because i "might" be willing to modify the brackets myself. i asked what he could do for me if i opted to just keep it and modify them he said he could send me a couple of t-shirts or refund me $20. told him i would call back in the next day or two and let him know my decision.

Re: Extreme Metal Products

hondasxs on your mock bracket how much material did you have left above where you have it notched? I am going to keep it and cut the brackets. once cut I will weld a piece of angle iron on the cut side for re-enforcement and slap some paint on it. from the measurements I pulled I can keep just over 1.5inches of material. I will probable cut it to 1.25" and then back it with 1/4" angle.

really kind of pisses me off that they won't fix the problem instead they are just going to only supply p2 bumpers. I need some fast straps so I'm going to see if I can't get some of them for the trouble and then ill be done with emp.

Re: Extreme Metal Products

those measurements are right in line with what I have so I'm going to cut it. I may possibly get time tomorrow evening if not it will be sat evening before I have a chance to work on it. if I get mine done before ill update on how it works out.

EMP Rear Bumper P4 Modification

my front bumper was supposed to show today but when I checked the tracking it pushed back to tom. I did however get a chance to do some work on the rear bumper, mounted my new wheels and tires and got the front bumper removed so that when the new one shows tom I can mount it up.
I cut the mounts down to 1.25"
I then welded a piece of angle iron in to reinforce the plate since so much material was lost.


I then painted them up and mounted them.




then re-assembled everything. I the driver side actually has about 3/8" space between the roll bar. the passenger side is touching but it was enough that im pretty positive I have full tilt. I didn't get a reference point prior to mounting the brackets and didn't want to remove them to make sure. looking at hondasxs pics it appears that if I did loose any tilt it was very minimal.



my new tires/wheels 27x9-12's all the way around on itp ss312's


you can tell they aren't the factory tires but they ride pretty good. they measured out to just over 27". I also cranked my rear shocks up I no have a full 12" of clearance in the rear and just slightly more in the front. now I just need to wash it, it would have been nice if it were clean before I started taking stuff apart as I had dirt falling off on me the entire time.

Some cleaner pics.
