    Finally ordered my Warthog. Mine will be an open style without fill plates.

    I'm interested in what other WarFab rear bumper owners are using for license plate mounts, license plate light mounts, add'l reverse lights, and any other accessories for them, even creative BSM mounts or whatever. Show anything you got. :)

    these are pics on Mike's truck, which is cut for the Phantom bumper. less cut required for the Warthog. see the next post..

    in case anyone is interested, I'm planning install on this and the cut is different from the Phantom bumper which is the most popular WarFab rear. the Phantom cut needs to be 1.5" below the taillights, but Mike said the Warthog cut line is 6.5" below. I'm going as tight as possible there. I'll have pics eventually but the thing isn't even shipped, not even sure it's made yet.

    I just bought this same bumper 2 days ago just open tube. I also added the rear swing out tire carrier so I am super excited about finished product. Im trying to look into light and license plate mounts to make it work. Will have to relocate my rear camera to make it work so I can park in my garage haha. Follow my Instagram for future post of the bumper @that_yota_foo

    there was probably some minor miscommunication back then. you are correct, the cut is 6" under the taillight, 6.5" to the top of the bumper rail., at least that's where we cut mine.

    I cut mine around 6.25"; sounds like that will clear fine? I'm trimming then driving over to pick it up so I wanna get it right before I go

    glad you asked, those rough measurements i provided were inaccurate. probably a bit more trimming if you want some gap..

    has anyone successfully ran two shackles on a warfab rear without issue?

    sounds better than keeping stored

    hopefully something like this wouldn’t get stolen or rattle around

    maybe in black to be less obvious, and anti sieze on threads

    idk if the cheap online ones are risk of breaking and going flying
