Rear step bumper is rotted on my 94

[1994Ranger$$$pit]

I am going to buy a Wrangler pre runner style bumper for mine when I have the cash, and fabricate it to fit. Mine is also junk.

So if you have some fabrication experience, I have heard the Jeep wrangler bumpers are the correct width, they obviously just need to be be fabricated to mount to a Ranger.

If you do not have the hitch, there are only 4 18mm bolts that hold the bumper to the frame. break them all loose and remove three of them, then balance the bumper on your leg/ arm and remove the fourth and lower it down.

For rust, pb blaster (have to check out that deep creep stuff, thanks for the heads up on that Racer) You may even have to cut/ torch the bolts out.

If you have the hitch, you will have 6 bolts with two of the bolts being further back on the frame to distribute the forces of the hitch more evenly, and it is probably easier to use a floor jack to help balance and let the bumper/ hitch assembly down.

Good luck.

No hitch yet. But,sure sounds like a great time to put one on

CVAR,

that is an awesome write up on the bumper removal, you should submit that to the tech library!

I agree, it's a great right up with pics on how to get that rear bumper off.
