Replacing front and rear roll pans with bumpers on 85!
Hi all, I'm new to this site and this is my first post! I just got a 85 swb and it has front and rear roll pans on it! I want to add bumpers, anyone ever do this! I ordered bumpers and brackets and the came today! I'm aware that the frame had to be cut a little in the front but will be using the outer brackets only in the front. Can I just cut openings for the brackets and mount bumpers or will I have to cut them all the way off? Any help/advice greatly appreciated

Re: Replacing front and rear roll pans with bumpers on 85!
Outer brackets only on the front bumper will not work. You would only have 2 bolts on the bumper and 2 bolts on the frame holding it on...not enough...not even close. I would fabricate the inner brackets to work with your cut frame...you really want to use all six mounting points in my opinion.

Thanks! There wouldn't be 4 bolts on the front bumper and 4 on the frame?

Junk yard. Cut off more than you need, then trim to fit your frame and weld in place with some added fishplates.
