    War Eagle!

    That's a different spin on a rear bumper. I like the triangular shape to it!

    Don’t need negativity in here

    It is mostly square. The tag is just angled to not rob ground clearance.

    Are you doing a swing out? If so why not just mount the tag to that?

    Not at first, but eventually I will. I don’t want to have to put tag lights on the swingout.

    the tag area also sits my bumper apart from all the ones similar to this design

    Gotcha, as long as you like it that’s all that matters! Can’t wait to see how it turns out man! I’ve still got to add a table to mine and I think I will add like a molle panel yup deal on the swing out next to the tire so I can mount whatever I want on it later.

    Jacked up the fender flare and had to JB weld it back together. I have heard of people breaking the clips but not the actual fender flare clip retainers.

    Thanks! I’m very happy with is so far.

    I marked a point 1/4” below the tail light and took that measurement from the top of the bed rail (came out to about 17 3/8”). I had someone holding a straight edge with a level ontop of the bed rail and measured from the bottom of the level straight edge.

    I honestly don’t know. I can lift it myself pretty easily, but I can’t get it aligned without help.

    maybe 100-120
