P1000 Custom rear bumper ideas?

[rlutech]

I have metal fabrication skills and would like to build a rear bumper for my P1000-3. Just looking for ideas/pics on building a nice heavy-duty rear bumper. Thinking of adding some D-rings for strapping the machine down on the trailer.

That’s awesome, I’ll buy the supplies if you’ll make us both one??

So.. I’ll just throw this out there.

I have an EMP rear bumper that dumps with the bed... I like it.

You’re going to have to have a lot of extra weight in the bumper to make it sturdy enough to strap and pull from. Might I suggest these as pull points instead.

These are 1 3/4” exhaust clamps.. with a 1/2” d-ring.

I like the KFI tiger tail as a rear tow point.

I’ll have to build a prototype and see if it’s marketable, stay tuned.

Here's how I added some tubing and gussets for my rear bumper.

I’ll have to put some thought into it. I think that a combination of strength/rigidity can be balanced with not being overly gaudy. These types of projects can be exciting.

I have a wild boar atv rear bumper on my P3 it’s a nice bumper it comes with 2 led lights made into the bumper and it has hooks made into the bumper and the bed still dumps the bumper is heavy duty I think it costs around 250 dollars

Is yours a 1000 5 and if so did you make mounts going up to the roll cage as well

I will have to take a picture but I have never posted a pic on here before

@knuckledeep what are you getting for your rear bumper?

Tiger tail is more than 10 bucks though..

IMO a winner rear bumper would:

1. Allow the bed to tilt and the tailgate to lower.
2. Cut outs for flush mount lights
3. D-ring mounting points
4. 2" receiver up high on the bumper because the stock receiver point is way too low. I'm thinking for accessories, not towing. Stock location bottoms out on trails.
5. Maybe a way to mount a vertical ROPS sized bar on the passenger side to mount swing out racks for 3P Pioneers
6. Fits both 3P and 5P Pioneers

Money

Ha, yeah. I always think it's clumsy til I use it and remember how well it works. If only it wasn't such a mud magnet

I started this one with factory front bumper not done yet to many other things going on like @JTW I was going to make it dump with bed not strong enough for d rings I just put one in receiver

Capable of dumping and pulling I don’t think will mix... either or, sure. But I don’t see the combo working.

I built this with the main bar sleeved so you could pull on any part of the bumper. It did not obstruct the ability to dump either. I really liked it and want to build one for my new machine.

Hey that’s a good idea utilizing the stock front bumper. I’ve got one laying around that I could never get rid of. Guess I can repurpose it.
