DIY Manta Ray Rear Bumper

Quality looks great. I am looking forward to seeing the finished product

Fit together nice. Good strong design.

Looks great! Super simple to put together now that the angles are pre-bent. Took me and a friend 5 hours to put together from start to finish. Just need to get it powder coated!

Quality was excellent. All pieces fit well, with no gaps, and was easy to weld. After one hour of grinding welds and polishishing its ready to paint. Looks like it was one piece stamped steel instead of welded.

Assembly went pretty easy, just lined up the flat edges and tacked it all up before mounting the brackets to the truck. I put the mounts on the brackets and then aligned the bumper to the truck and then tacked the mounts to make sure it sits even since the center to center distance was off on mine. Some instructions for the frame mounts would of been nice but it’s pretty straight forward, I just didn’t have a rear bumper before at all to see how they typically mount.

It was easy to assemble but one piece wasn't plasma cut. I think that anyone can build this bumper because I'm only 16 and I built and welded it by myself.

If you can weld, and let it cool, so that it does not twist on you, this is for you. And, you got to paint it, it was a fun project.

Would have been nice to have directions of some kind, especially if i wasn’t good at puzzles
