    Don't like all the exposed stuff and the lack of full length welds from the plate to the tube.

    I like the rear bumper, but the front, well maybe name her Trucky McTruckface? It does look very utilitarian though, I like it.

    How solid is the mounting for the rear? Would you trust recovery from the corner tube or is that not so secure. I know the off camber only uses 10ga plate for all of its mounting locations. That's much lighter duty than I'm hoping for. I'd like to see 3/16" at least and no less than 75% of the hitch bolts used for the bumper as well.

    Got a line on a new one here in Phoenix for maybe 400 trying to decide if I should pull the trigger
