Crazzzzy Flex w/ Carnage
Last week I did a bunch of painting on the truck(front bumper front under carriage, rear bumper, and cap window frame), and I wanted to get a few new pics. Hopefully I will be working on the bumper tomorrow if all goes well, my friend w/ the welder has been sick and working so my bumper got put on hold.

Ok, this is where it get's a little embarrassing; I saw a place do do a good flex so I figured 'why not'. As I was backing up I heard some rubbing, a little grinding and popping, I just figured it was by hitch scrapping the hill. See pics for the explanation

OK the embarrassing part. I got stuck on the flex. I had to call my dad to pull me off, to make it worse, it was with a Sport Trac.
p.s. I know the bumper is a bit crooked(it needs a spacer), it'll get fixed tomorrow, hopefully along with the gap.
Enjoy and let me know what you think.

Lotsa room on one side, not enough on the other.
Damage-wise, it took less than 5 mins. to fix.

I'm going to have to agree. If it fit the shape of the truck more it wouldn't be as bad, but the gaps are just to much and it sticks out a little to far. Though I will hold out and see what you do with the gaps. Sucks about the damage, but glad it was an easy fix. Truck looks great though!

I agree with the other guys, I still don't like the bumper. It is too big for your truck, especially since it's not lifted. And if you are getting stuck doing stuff like that what is the point of having it and a winch? Honestly you got stuck on a small hill on the shoulder of a road, do you really plan on taking the truck on trails and stuff?

Nice flex! I've done stupid stuff like that before except my bedsides near the wheel well are bent as I don't have flares. I also only run a small 31" (265/70/16). I like the bumper. Who cares if it doesn't look perfect. It's functional and it works!! Some people don't like my bumper. I didn't like ti at first. It grew on me. Function over fashion buddy!
Here is one of my good flexs. It was taken right after I got my BFGs. (2 years ago). Now that my leaves are softer, worn in, etc. I can get a little more.
From the front (see the axle back there)
I just had to post some old pics. Thanks Trigger01

I have aal's and shackles back there.
The truck will be lifted shortly after Christmas. I do take my truck on trails and stuff and rarely get stuck. I just wasn't thinking all the way when I did this. My truck has done quite well on some pretty hardcore trails. It was just one of those things.
I did try to put it in neutral and push it off , but it just wasn't happening.
