Dirtworx rear bumper and adding LED backups?

[kxbarnes]

Good morning! Has anyone installed reverse LED backups on their DIRTWORX rear bumper yet? If Yes can you post some pics? Looking for ideas for my incoming bumper.

Yeehaw! Thanks!

I have not. But I'm very familiar with the bumper. It's essentially 3/16" rectangle tube with a couple of shackles frenched in and some channels for mounts.

I put a pod light on my spare tire. It was simpler.

If you're thinking about cutting a hole for some square or rectangular flush mount LEDs you either will need to get ones shallow enough to fit inside and cut the face of the bumper...or cut all the way through and box in the cutout.

Either way it's a very minimalistic bumper and you're going to have make holes and modifications carefully.

I like what you did, I don't go topless without having the bars to easily fold up the softop, i do have a rack so I may either mount on the rack or like you did on the spare tire. thanks for helping me think outside the boxbumper

If you still have stock tail light housings, I have a set of these for you.

I don't have that bumper, but I put these above the bumper I do have.

When I had a body lift without raising the rear crossmember, I had some lights sandwiched in there. Now that the butt crack is gone, however, I intend to do what @jjvw did when I rework my tailgate valence someday.

I might have to order some, more light is good!

Clay's lights are a very quick, easy and good way to get brighter backup lights. I had a set in my factory housings.

I’ll second this as I run Clay’s lights. Soon after install Victor followed me on a wheelin’ trip, and now he can’t see colors.
