GoWesty bumpers are made with 12-gauge, continuously welded plate steel in an ultra-rigid boxed design. Considering how strong GoWesty bumpers are, the GoWesty rear bumper is actually relatively lightweight at only 60lbs including the built-in 2" receiver hitch. You won’t find a better strength-to-weight bumper anywhere, bar none.

We developed these bumpers to have minimal overhang in any direction to optimize ground clearance and reduce approach and departure angles. These features are especially important for off-highway environments.

This is the extra impact protection, functionality and new tough look for your Vanagon!

Set Includes:
• (1) GoWesty Plate Steel Front Bumper
• (1) GoWesty Plate Steel Rear Bumper w/Integrated 2" Receiver Hitch
• (1) Complete installation hardware and instructions

Features:
• Now with a built-in 2" receiver hitch design!
• Strong, 12 gauge steel
• Fully boxed construction for ultimate strength
• Durable black hammer semi-gloss wrinkle finish powder coat
• Simple bolt-on installation
• Hardware, mounting brackets, and detailed instructions included
• Fits all Vanagon models (2WD & 4WD) from 1980-1991
• Accepts GoWesty swing-away carriers and options: no holes to drill in your body to carry stuff on the back!
• Single Cab/Double-Cab (Sinka/Doka) compatible

Why buy GoWesty bumpers instead of our competitor's put-it-together-yourself "bumpers" that are so much less expensive to ship?
• GoWesty bumpers require no assembly. They arrive ready to bolt on... like a real bumper should!
• Our bumpers are ACTUALLY bumpers! They take a bump and keep on, um, bumping!
• There is simply no way a multi-piece, assemble-yourself bumper system can match the strength of a fully-welded bumper. No chance!
• Our no-holds-barred bombproof bumpers deliver real-world protection for you and your van!
• If you think it's counterintuitive for a real bumper to be light-weight and easy to ship: You're absolutely correct!
• Yes, it can be expensive to ship a GoWesty bumper set... but would you rather save on shipping or actually save your van? (And maybe your life!)

    These are fantastic!

    I looked at so many bumpers, and all I really wanted was a fat surface on the rear bumper that I could stand on to put on the rain fly. The originals were curved and slippery, but these are perfect. They look fantastic, and I am glad I kept looking. The drawtite receiver is also great.

    Black Bumpers

    They are still in the box. They came quicker than I expected. And I was waiting till Spring to install them. I will ad a picture after they are done.

    The bumpers were so well packed they showed up scratch free. I was stunned. The bumpers fit correctly and feel so much better than the original. Great job Gowesty!

    The bumper install should not require cutting parts of the chassis off. It should also extend the full length laterally that the OEM bumper does to avoid holes being shown. Also the back bumper horns didn’t fit- I had to take it somewhere to bend it. Your manufacturer should have a Vanagon onsite to quality check every bumper that comes off the line before it’s shipped to customers.

    Great bumpers

    There are several aftermarket bumper options, I looked at essentially all the options out there. I preferred the aesthetics of this style bumper over some of the others. They seem to be built very solid, install was a breeze (30min max). Rear bumper could be a 1/4"-1/2" closer to the body, so it fits nice and tight but if involved in a fender bender that gap might be beneficial. Some have noted some issues with powder coating holding up through the years, hopefully this has now been addressed. Overall very pleased with the product.

    Things that go bump in the night

    LOVE these bumpers! Debated between these and a competitors put-together ones and once I received the GW set I knew I made the right call. When on to my ‘84 with no issues and they look like they belong on a Westy/Vanagon! Highly recommend if you are looking for a substantial bumper that can take some beats.

    Solid

    These bumpers are solid and look great. Install was pretty difficult on the front end. But that will probably be unique to my van. It has damage on the front end from an accident with previous owner and the mounting holes shifted.

    High quality finish and nice tight fit. Went on with ease. Can’t wait to put my dirt bike on a carrier that slides into the receiver hitch
