    Thanks, man! Planning something very similar to yours actually. :D Only differences is that I'd like it a bit tighter to the body on the wrap around, I'm going to attempt to make some tail light protector hoops that wrap very close to the body, and a hitch in the center is a definate must... Probably some 2" box steel.... maybe 3". and 1/4" plat mounts.

    Haha yeah, leave the one on the tailgate. :cool:

    Great job getting it all lined up as well as you did. The bob alone was a nightmare.

    How much do other people cut for the dovetail?
