Our 91 Ranger has rust holes but it runs great. Still get 22-23 mpg. Last year my 115lb.wife stepped up on the rear bumper and the licence plate section of the bumper broke off. There were zero new or used bumpers available so the little garage we've dealt with for years welded one up with sheet steel. It's stronger than the original by far.

Is it a self-portrate or did Sharon or Tristin take it?

Good, strong bumpers for anything are getting hard to find, unless you have one made like you did, caneman.

Nope! I snapped that one of you when we were at Calvin's place. Don't you recognize that tree? It was East of the camper.

I stopped there once, but all they were concerned about was a recent escapee from Ark City. Don't worry - I didn't tell em nuthin.
