Survive 20 year olds driving it deep in the woods. Needs to be able to survive being backed into a tree as well as farm equipment. I need something a 300 lb man can stand, lean, or sit on without it bending. I need pull out shackles and prefer it to have diamond plate to match the brush guard. LineX coating will be the finish.
Yeah I know that, the problem is I don’t really like the commercial stuff, too flimsy. The only one I have found that’s actually fit a 1000-5, and strong is Ranch Armour and it’s 1600.00 to my door. That’s not going to happen. So I,m designing one, and I have that skill set
What that something in its prior life or did you craft the whole thing for $25 in materials?
It's a stock front bumper off a Pioneer 1000 mounted on the rear
Yep. Just pull a pin on the hitch and take it off. Back into something it want mess up the bed.
It greatly worries me the way it connects to the tailgate hardware. Slam into something and you could be repairing a lot of tailgate and side panel metal.
I think it bolts up to the bolt holes in the back of the frame or at least it should. I seen a few where you have to drill holes in your bed. So I didn’t want to do that and found this on. I was thinking of hav one fabricated to bolt to the 4 holes at the end of the frame. Might be something they added it’s new 2022 1000 pioneer
That’s what I’m going to do, fab one. I think it’s going to be a weird angle on it to allow for the bed to dump. There are some bumpers out there that attach where the tailgate rod pin holds the bumper brackets. That’s a big problem waiting to happen. I’ve seen others that release the bumper with 2 pins so the bed can dump. I don’t like those either. There is just not that much out there to chose from.
You dont like the knucledeep bumper i posted? Its heady duty as fuc and Justin and fab it any way you want. Alot of HFA guys have it. PM me and Ill give u his info.
