    Please don't cut your bed sides until you have the bumper. Worst thing you'll do is have your tail pipe be bent up into the bed side (mine happened a lot) which might cause very minor damage. But it doesn't matter because you'll be cutting that part off anyway, so just leave it IMO

    Just cut it in the bend over the axle. Then no tailpipe bedside damage..

    Brandon made me a relocate for the harness out of 3/16. It's total overkill but it is solid. It was a temp solution because I shredded mine (not as bad as the lic above)

    We will incorporate it into the new bumper

    Sweet good to hear. I'm not really worried about messing up the rear bumper I just don't want messing up anything else up when it comes to me installing the rear HC

    Only place he got close was on a drop off at the end of trail A1A and thats only because it was washed out below. Also anything you might mess up would probably be cut off regardless for the HC bumper

    I've sold just about everything I've taken off my truck. Lots of people will buy it because 2nd gen.

    I doubt you get into that much trouble at Gulches. It's your first real time out so I'm sure you will be cautious with lines.

    One thing I noticed over time wheeling with my 15 was during a 20mile/8 hour wheeling trip I found that switching the locker on and off along with switching between 4hi and lo got easier on the truck.
    By the end of the trip it slides in and out like butter.
