sounds ike you have a bumper used for putting a big overhead camper in the box. the bumper pulls out so you can tow(??) or use the bumper without it being hidden under the trailing edge of the camper

I have no idea what your bumper looks like, there's nothing in your gallery, so you're going to have to post a pic so we can make a guess or two.

Mine's the same. Mounted on two big ol pieces of pipe. It weighs as much as a Honda, and is as ugly as a Yugo. Nice girl totaled her brand new VW on it and cried and cried while I was scraping lime green paint (hers) off the bumper with my leatherman.
Poor VW, never had a chance.

Yep, same thing happened with me and a taurus, that thing was tost and I brushed off my bumper and called it good. I was thinking of getting a roll pan someday when my project really heats up, but with the way people seem to like to rearend me I might keep that ugly thing on the back lol

Well now that everyone is so impressed with this "handsom" option,does anyone know how to do the un-thinkable...changing it back to a normal bumper?
I may be considering Camper Special mutilation, but boy is it ugly hangin down 3-4 inches and back 4 more from the gate.

Thanks

I think your best bet is to do the radical surgery. Grind off the mounts and welds and fabricate new brackets.
I plan on a regular chrome bumper with the back up lights in it. There's one in LMC that looks nice.

Yep those are for the 11ft campers on the camper specials The 70 I just got rid of had adjustable air shocks on the rear also. I thought leaving the bumper extended out would work out nicely with all the crappy drivers around town lately that like to ride your butt.

The one with the rubber tread pad on top?
That's the one I plan to use, too.
