Rear Step bumper end caps - creative solution

Just what you need Randy, another expensive hobby. Yep, we are both ate up with A.D.D.
I would love to have some trains running all over my shop to go along with a couple of Drones I have.

My dad and I collected trains when I was a kid. I moved onto cars and girls, but he never stopped collecting. He passed away 12 years ago, and October I went down to my Mom's to pick up the collection. 5x10 trailer full, 3500 lbs worth. Been listing it on EBay, hoping to be able to get enough to start on Red, and buy a plasma table. And maybe keep one train to run around the man cave. So not another expensive hobby after all. :)

Seems lately I've been blowing all my spare change on things branded Heckler & Koch. Now that's been expensive.

End of thread hijack.
 
Picked up and mailed out two more sets of end caps today. The foundry did them last week with the 356 they had on hand. Today they got more in and will have more done by thursday and friday. The 356 Alloy is used for wheels and engine blocks and super chargers. Good choice of alloy. This foundry fill orders promptly. Soon as I get them, I'll get them on the way to you.

Picked up some of the end caps on wednesday, and the rest today. Everyone should have theirs before Christmas.
 
Well here are the final pictures. Drilled and taped. Put some aluminum anti seize lube on the bolts and bolted them on to the bumper.

Those look great! Just a suggestion- tap the caps and then use studs instead of bolts. Might save a lot of headaches down the road. Aluminum likes to corrode to bolts, even with anti-sieze.

Thanks for the complete review (bruises and all). In addition to the US, end caps have been sent to Canada, Hong Kong, and now someone in Germany wants a pair. Picked up his set today and one more. So I've got one set available right away if anyone is interested. The foundry has been really good about filling orders promptly so any future orders should get done without any problems. This is a fun project helping so many of you to complete your bumpers. Now I feel more connected with the CJ-8.com family. Thanks guys!

These things look great. So what black or rubberizing product are you guys putting on these?

Thanks
 
I'm seriously thinking I need to get my white rear bumper chromed and get a set of these...
