I'm looking for options for rear bumper ends. Will buy if I can find something I like with a reasonable price. To give you an idea what I like, I really like the Safari Guard Rear Bumper Ends, but not the price

I'm also interested in seeing pictures of those NOT mounted if anyone has them (to see how they mount). I don't think they would be terribly hard to make, but looking at my rear cross member I fail to see how you get more than 2 bolts per side to mount these things which seems two too few :)

I am not using the NAS bumper.

I just bought a pair of the safari gard bumper ends this morning (very good price compared to new). Let me know if you want to see pictures of them unmounted (and what pictures you'd be looking for).

Sweet! Any and all pictures would be awesome. Any angles that show how they dealt with mounting them please!

they aren't mounted yet (see above: bought them this morning)... so "they" (I) haven't dealt with mounting yet... they are currently just sitting in the back of Nola waiting for me to get a chance to put them on...

Brad, here is a rear bumperette/step that has an open top so you can see how it mounts. My main interest in pictures from you is to see how yours would end up being mounted. For example, does it use four bolts like this, or just the 2 outer bolt holes on the NAS rear cross member? I picture from behind or below would reveal this.

thanks,
charlesSorry I still don't have pictures for you (I don't drive it when it's warm - 70s today - ) and I've been getting home after dark but I'll see what I can do for you tonight.

In any case: I can confirm that it's a 4 bolt setup...

Cool thanks. Sorry if I sounded impatient (I'm not). Just wanted to make sure it was clear what I was after.

Yes I'd like to see a picture please (I have a ST but don't see why there would be an issue). If the picture doesn't show it, I'd like to know how many bolts it uses to mount and if it requires adding holes to the cross members too please. And let me know what you want for them of course :)

thanks,
charles
