Here is my homemade rear bumper for a gator 825is4
I didn't want to spend $300 on the JD rear bumper so I made my own for less than $50.
I still purchased the side fender guards because I didnt have access to a tube bender.
The supports are made from 3/8 steel plate that I cut using jigsaw with a 18tpi metal blade.
Holes are cut using a standard Hole saw blade on a drill press.

Parts List:
1 4ft 1.5inch round steel tubing 1/4inch thik - $30
1 3/8 plate - $10
1 cans 14 oz - POR 15 Professional use Chassis Coat Black - $30 ( This stuff is indestructible and bonds to metal) http://www.por15.com/TOP-COAT_p_102.html
