I'm sure I'm biased but, I still prefer the no bumper look. Pretty much all of EVO's stuff is all about function over form and really, there is no function for something like this. But hey, that's just me.
I saw this idea from a guy over at JKF. Just a piece of sheet metal bent over the rear crossmember and painted. Looks pretty good IMO.

I like the reverse lights. :thumb: Those seem functional.![]()
And, I bet I put out a ton more light![]()
i kinda left out my point...lol i was thinking this may deter the boys in blue for those concerned since it gave it a finshed look. almost looks legit.
I'm going to install a 40" rigid light bar across the back of mine. :cheesy:
Yeah, but so are these...

the hitch and dually's really make the no bumper look even better.
do u have any reverse lights for driving around town, as in when u drop it in reverse? i have been curious since with my new evo build i will have new led tail lights for the new skins but i dont think im gonna have any normal operating back up lights. i am curious if that has been an issue for u or not. thanks
I haven't done it but there are a lot of other guys who've hard wired their lights to work with reverse engaged and separately as well.
ok, so u are talking about using the rigid's for normal backup lights? drivers will def know when u are about to reverse...lol
maybe i will borrow your idea...lol the 40" rigid mentioned previously may be a touch excessive for my grocery getter...:cheesy:
LOL!! Oh yeah, they'll know you're backing up. I suck at wiring so for now, I just have mine attached to a switch and turn it on when backing up. It's not that big of a deal for me but, if I can ever figure out how to do it right, may hook it up so that it works automatically and manually like I've seen others do in the past.

I smell a write up. :thumb:
Have you seen the Dually's with the diffused lens in action? I was thinking that might work pretty good for the reverse lights. A little more civil for around town and perhaps avoiding being #11 on the asshole list. :rock:

I run a single SRM diffused for my reverse, tied into the reverse light wiring so it comes on automagically. It's plenty bright.
not bad but it still looks like a cheap bumper ! im wondering if you could argue the fact that the plastic was removed but not the actual structure of the bumper? and as for something sticking out sharp edges those are closed in with the evo d rings set up ? not sure how id find out or who yould ask regarding it . its not like registry of motor vehicles would answer you straight they are there to deter us from modificationsI saw this idea from a guy over at JKF.
