    yes and no, since youre caging your entire truck you should be boxing and plating your entire frame so the factory cross members should be removed anyway and replaced with new bars or better yet a brand new tubed xmember.

    also its important when designing these bumpers to consider how a flat tire will be held into the carrier in the instance that you get a flat and need to change the tire, there should be enough bracing underneath that a rim and flat tire will still be held securely into the carrier.

    FYI the rear of your truck is the departure angle, the front is the approach ;)

    my frame will be gettin plated and boxed:D im suprised its not bent already TBH.
    i got the frame plates in a GB a couple weeks ago and my guy will be boxing it also.

    yeah theres nothing falling out of the bottom of mine, theres about 4 tubes on the bottom that holds the tire in place so that part is good.

    departure, approach.. same thing haha. well kinda.

    i do see where your coming from but most people like too keep it someone what simple. unlike people like us lol.

    you might be able to run the wire across the bottom then up the center and put a single down firing light with a small hole in the top of the plate itself. did you get that last bolt fixed?

    not as funny as it would look having it run on top of it all, just try to hide it as best you can. on that bolt just make sure you do it by hand and make sure it starts to seat good, dont use any power tools on it or you will for sure strip it again.
