    yes. If you ever actually go drive a real trail. If you going to stick to nice dirt roads i guess then you'll be fine.

    but a stock tire already hangs below the rear bumper..

    Wow, really? I never noticed how low it sets then I guess... I really don't want a tiregate on my truck. I'll probably just get a locking cable and throw it in the back of my truck, until I get a bed rack.

    Wow.... That sucks... Haha

    Maybe a tire gate wouldn't look terrible. I'm just having a hard time picturing it...

    Haha yeah, I've looked at your pics before trying to decide... I might see if I can get it photoshopped onto mine. Did Timicha from ELITE build it for you?

    Yep. custom Elite bumper..cost a pretty..penny..or like..way more then that :eek:

    Idk if he'd make another one. He told me it was a PITA for him time wise and wasn't sure he would make another one. Cost will with out a doubt drive most away as it is.

    and you mean on your stock bumper??

    if you have a friend that can weld good you can buy some nice tire swing kits to add to most offroad bumpers. Then could just get like a TG rear bumper and add it on.

    Yeah, I bet it is pretty expensive. I've looked at CBI's, but they're over $1400 and don't look as good.
    [​IMG]

    I meant as in take a picture of my truck at the same angle and just photoshop your whole bumper onto mine.

    I don't want anything but a plate bumper, so no trail gear for me...

    Yea that bumper looks not so good haha plus the bed sides were cut..which is pointless on out rigs anyways. Bobbing the bed is better.

    Well...mine was about that..

    Here's a pic of a 285/75/16 with a tube bumper in stock location. Tiregate or mounting someplace besides the stock location is the way to go. I have mine located there for now until I can figure out a better way to mount it without taking up too much bed space.

    Btnewman used his spare tire hoist thing on his bed rack for his spare. I'm sure others have but that's the most recent I've seen.
