The GoWesty blate steel rear bumper is 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 this rear bumper 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!

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!)

Bumper install

I like this system a lot, but, I recommend not bolting the new bumper to the frame until the other accessories are installed onto it.
The hinge mount for the swing away and the end of the piston are nearly impossible to mount otherwise. Also, I think we were shorted the third bolt that attaches to the frame, the first two on each side having been reused.

Definite upgrade over stock

Paired this up with the Swing Away system on a 1987 Vanagon. Previously had the spare mounted on the rear ladder, which made the rear hatch a real bear to open. Shifted some weight over to the passenger side and freed up full access to the ladder. I wish I would have done it sooner. Great construction, relatively easy install.

GW rear bumper

We thought our Toyota truck bumper 2 inch hitch was tough, then we put on the EBike rack unto the GW bumper! Not a wiggle, tough and sturdy with heavy bikes!

Love the bumper, love the GoWesty products!

Steel bumper

First one was damaged, made a call to Westy and they sent another bumper and a return prepaid postage. Great customer service. By the way, second bumper was perfect.

Worth it

I was attempting to modify an existing bumper to take a modern hitch and gave it away to buy this bolt on bumper. Needed to file away a couple of welds inside the car to fit the bumper . In Australia , front bull bars are customised from other vehicles yet the angles on the west bumper match the front bar nicely . The wrap around touch point protectors are gold

Rock solid!

My fiberglass rear bumper was falling apart, this gowesty replacement not only looks good but it’s built for abuse!

Perfect

Was wanting a more robust part than the original chrome, did not read well and threw out the old hardware which the bumper does not come with. The only thing I wish was different is the hardware was included because the size isn't the easiest to find.
