Rear Bumper on Mountaineer
I recently purchased a 2008 Montana Mountaineer 324 RLQ and would like to install a shelf on the back. I saw on a recent post where a gentlemen mounted two Curt hitches to the rear bumper (slide up from the botton of the bumper), then used (2) 6" stingers upside down with an angle iron frame welded to both so an allumium shelve can be attached to that. I love the idea and have bought all the parts, but when I brought my trailer in for some warranty work, they told me the bumper metal itself is to thin. I would only be putting no more than 200 lbs total (hardware + Honda 3000w). I also had planned on beefing up where the bumper attaches to the frame.
Do anyone have any suggestions or have done this themselves?
