    Thanks!
    Yeah, the hitch is located behind the plate, and is one of the main reasons I went with this bumper, to get our hitch up and out of the way.

    The black things are actually plugs that came with the bumper for the parking sensors, which I used since I didn't have the extra tech package that had the rear sensors in it.
    I didn't have the spring loaded flip down license plate yet, so the plate is held on with zip ties atm.

    It happens.
    I had some missing paint. I bought the OEM base coat, metallic clear, and clear clear pens for my truck (it's metallic black). And it made everything look much better. It's worth a try. I know it sucks... At least nothing is dented.

    Maybe Rit DyeMore for synthetic products? I've dyed clear rubber with that stuff with some success.

    If it's nice, I take two wheels. If it's rainy, I just don't go. ;-)

    Sometimes, the difference between stuck and not stuck is under a thousand pounds. In cases like that, they are awesome.

    Would I use them to try to rescue a Taco that was in mud up to the Raptor lights? No. But I don’t think that’s likely for me and my truck.

    Personally, I like the look, and they will do what I need them to do.

    ^ This. Dr. ColorChip can be kind of tedious, may take a few coats but miles better than blob pens and brushes. Perfect color match. Watch a few DIY videos to get the gist of how it works. Buff it afterward, coat of wax and only you will know it was there. Sign up for their email promos for regular 15% off deals.

    Chock it up to just dumb luck. and experience and notify the bug spray manufacturer, if this is doing this to plastic , what is it doing to your skin in the long run over years of use, perhaps giving you cancer.

    use coconut oil or peppermint oil mosquitos hate it.
