I'm in the market for a rear bumper for my 99 sp500 but I'm having trouble finding the correct one.I see alot of new Gen IV bumpers but the mount setup looks different.Any tips? I've included a pic of my rear frame.Thanks for the help

 

Looks the same as my 98 xplorer which is a Generation IV or 4.

I've ordered 2 rear bumpers for mine that's what I ordered (gen 4)and they mounted up fine. If I recall correctly I thought the same thing the first time, "no way that mounts up"...it did.

Sound great,thanks for the help

 

Looks to me in order to mount it going by the pictures I would have to drill 4 holes which is no big deal. I'm fed up with those no brake type atvs that ride with us running into the back of me

 

New bumper arrived today,pretty simple to install with no drilling and it feels strong and sturdy.I like it

 

Thats in good shape for a 99. I have seen rougher 2006 500s.

 

TLC, Thanks for the comment.I do my best to avoid anything that will damage it and stay on top of maint. all the time. I see guys with new rides pushing other ATVs out the mud,tearing off bumpers,fenders ect.."that's why winches are made" just plain crazy careless stuff and they wonder why their ride looks like crap? If we have a trail ride in lots of mud,no matter what time of night or morning it is It will be clean and regreased before I hit the sack.I'm not rich and never take it for granted and if it breaks I have to fix it,not the dealer.

 

Good is a understatement, Hugger....that thing is mint! I keep my 98 in top shape as well, I feel the same way about my equipment.

Hey Wenty,yours looks great as well,you have alot of upgrades, no doubt your a hunter.I'd love to have a Xplorer 400, no many around this area,I found one in pretty good shape and made several offers but the guy would not come off it but it was no where as nice as yours.Hard to find older ATV's in good shape.
