Update on the custom bumpers
Managed to find a used set of these and scooped them up.

From what I can tell, seems they were made by a boatmaker in Florida. Very nicely done. Sturdy Fiberglass construction. Front appears to have
aluminum inserts molded in that attach to the vertical bumper bolts on the bumper shocks. The rear bolt directly to the rear frame and have storage
boxes built in. They are sturdy, but the rear requires that you delete the bumper shocks. Not that the Fiberglass has any real impact strength,
but...

Talked to Jim Bounds at Cooperative Motor Works, he says he still has a set of new ones, and says the original maker will make more if there is
demand. Don't know if Sirum still has the same access - worth a call.
