    Not my style. I'd be happy to mail them to you though. You could grab some of those lug nut spikes to go with themo_O

    Cleaned, primed, and less two battle spikes. Taking a painted, rusty tube bumper back to bare metal is a major headache. There are soooo many spaces you can't fit a grinder. I had to resort to a dremel, wire brush, or sand paper for several spots. :annoyed:

    It's a trail gear. I bought it from a local-ish member.

    Post some good pics when you get it mounted. I've been wanting to see good pics of those on a 2nd gen.

    Ha Ha. That didn't take long. I'm a little concerned about what you said about the weight difference with the OEM setup. I'm already sitting at 2" of rake. I don't really want any more. Time will tell, I guess. Maybe my OEM pack+AAL won't be as eager to pop up as your Dakars.

    So part of the reason it stood up so much was because i dropped the spare out too. So the stock set up bumper (30lb), hitch (70lb), and spare (70lb) weighed about 170-180 lbs. The new bumper weighs about 80lbs so i dropped a solid 100lbs. Once i get the spare back on it will be back to normal. I wouldn't worry about it.

    Ive also got a lot of rake because ive got the dakars and my shackles flipped. Im lifted quite a bit in the rear. May have to adjust the front once i get my hybrid front bumper.

    I remember reading a post from someone on here that said something like, "I like my rake like I like my women...Face down, ass up.":rofl:

    I was just going to rig up a plate light and zip tie the plate to the bumper.:anonymous: But I decided I should try to make it look a little cleaner so I ordered the Trail Gear Plate holder from Low Range Off-Road. I hope it gets here soon. The bumper is going on this weekend with or without it.

    Yea, I looked around. All the possible mounting solutions I saw were just various stages of "meh". This one looked like the cleanest "meh" available. At least it'll prevent a ticket for not having plate lights.
