Rear bumper for WPL C24 with tow bar and shackles

thingiverse

After designing the front bumper, I've come up with a rear bumper concept that incorporates a tow bar capable of attaching a trailer or hauling heavy loads using large shackles. Unfortunately, this design hasn't been tested with an actual WPL Bxx trailer since I don't own one. However, since I plan to build and print my own trailer, it didn't make much of a difference. I aimed to give the tow bar a realistic look by incorporating a ball-pin system commonly found on 4WD vehicles. This will accommodate most road and off-road trailers, although I think I'll end up using only the pin in the long run. Given that the tow bar is intended for actual use, the rear panel of the C24 pick-up seemed too weak to me, so I added two spars that connect to the rear cross-beam. Like my front bumper design, you'll need to drill two holes in the rear panel to secure it with small screws (which I sourced from broken plastic toys).
