Default fg ute rear bumper removal

no response in the ute section so try here
another project under way, painting just finished, camera, extra reversing lights all fitted.
but how does the stupid thing fit?
After trying to crawl under the XR with my gut that a set of ramps will be useful, but then what? what, what needs to be removed to replace with after market rear bumper.

Have you looked at any secondhand ones advertised for sale? That should be your first mode of investimagation.

At a guess, drill out the top rivets, prise out reflectors, remove number plate to expose all bolts/nuts.

It may be possible to remove with the reinforcement still attached, just haven’t ever done one in this way.

Have you tried looking through the WSM in the tech section?
