PRO Rear Bumper...any recommendations?

[Timbre]

Just wondering if there are any options out there for an aftermarket rear bumper for the PRO.

Mine got bumped this weekend. I barely felt it, but the thing shattered!!

Anyone else had this experience? I don't think i want to replace it with another carbon fiber bumper if it was that easy to break!

Suggestions??

You have carbon fiber ones on the shelf?

Warning - Redneck Repair

For less then $20 go to the hardware store and buy a shovel or like tool with a composite handle. Cut a section out of the handle 16 9/16" long and install it into the stock pro bumper brackets. Fits perfect! You will need the "standard" rmk rear bumper end caps to finish the job off since the "Pro" rear bumper end caps are different.

I happened to have a shovel with the composite handle that was broken right at the spade so I wasn't out anything except the end caps for the standard rmk. The standard rmk uses an aluminum bumper that it the same thickness at the composite tool handles. From what I've seen all the composite tool handles are 1 1/4" o.d. X 1/8" thick tubing for the most part. They are very easy to cut with a standard hacksaw and do so without freying. Cut, drill a few holes and mount in less then 1/2 hr.

You can find many different colors also. Reds, blues, greens, yellows, greys, etc....

In search of the color I wanted for next time I bought an extendable prunning saw (6' - 12') with a 6' section of the needed 1 1/4" o.d. tubing so now I have plenty of replacement rear bumpers and can prune a few trees for $29. lol

I took mine to work after it got bumped and smashed and welded in an aluminum bar. better than new!

 

[MURFDOG]

Cobe is a nice looking bumper if you don't use a snobunge I broke one near where they attatch to the sled on my first pull out , went to the skins rearbumper and it works great , just a little stronger that's all, not bashing cobe

 

[Timbre]

Yes, both Carbon fiber.

What do you want out of them?

I put on an Edge Works (Meridian Idaho) bumper on our Demo PRO and the first weekend in Afton another rider smashed into and on my sled. NO DAMAGE! Awesome! 100% it would have been a replacement deal on the stock carbon fiber (you can see the hammer mark in the cross bar) and led to serious tunnel damage right where the cooler crosses. VERY LUCKY and money well spent. Looks similar to stock but it's aluminum and super strong. I think Carl's Cycle Sales in Boise is a dealer...208-853-5550 ask for Timmy in parts...he knows the deal.

Hmm I bunge allot so far no issues even had a pull that took every bit of my 11lbs of boost to wedge it free from the wet snow. Time will tell though.

I picked up one today at Carls. Timmy is a good man! The bumper itself is WAAAY stronger and you get new brackets with it that are much stronger as well. That carbon fiber bumper is a joke in my humble opinion. I have witnessed 2 of them shattering with just a small bump.

I am very happy with the new one!

Can you divulge (sp?) price or pics of the Carl's bumper setup?

The Skinz bumper is an easy install and very strong. Happy with both of mine!
