    The weather is summer.

    I chopped mine at the end of last year just past the axle (had to fact check before hand, just CYA) and had the inspection done in May at the stealership and not a peep.

    It's the luck of the shop, inspector and like you said possible power trips.

    So if I grab the tip of the main hoop on the bumper, it gave me enough leverage to flex the bumper a tiny bit. If I can do that by hand, I’m sure a winch can do worse. I think it’s because the main Mounting plate is only 4” tall so it can twist a little bit. So, I added tabs that reach under and bolt on. I also added these tubes to provide more support to the main body of the bumper. I realized the other day they had no support since it was only the welds up front holding the whole thing up. I didn’t want it vibrating while driving down the road and causing undue stress on the welds. They serve double duty so now I can toss a soft shackle on there and don’t need to worry about it sliding around.

    So you are a tall guy. 6’0 or so. You buy an AC with a long bed to sleep in it. Recently you bob the & take a foot of real estate off. So one of two things are happening.

    1) you are shrinking

    of

    2) you plan on sleeping with the tailgate open


    @EatSleepTacos I demand answers!

    I agree. And the lead time & customer service is not that bad. Those IG shooting range videos of CFA really gets to people
