Now that looks like it was built strong, look at them welds DAMN. I would add 1/4'' plate on the back side so the upper inner side is hidden with a hole drilled out for the spare tire.

Yard needs to be raked looks like the leafs haven't fallen yet wow

Yup, I planned on this thing being indestructable.

Im trying to design something to fill in the gap between the bumper and the tailgate.
Im making a custom LED light bar.... so I need a little bit of extra space so that peolpe will be able to see it.

Looks great! Like Dave said, 1/4'' plate with a hole drilled for the spare tire would be perfect.

Nope, I still have to do the rest of the truck. Ill probably wait until next spring/summer, so that it will dry well.

Hope to see you!

Looks strong man.
I'm with Dave, plate that bitch. lol.
you said you were making a light bar for it? I was gonna recommend that to fill the gap.

You call that yard dirty? Thats what mine looks like on a clean day.

Interesting, quite compact looking yet more refined than simple square thing... I like it. Would look awesome if you grind down/fill in the welds lines and gaps, etc. Or covered in line x

Yeah, I plan on grinding down all of the welds when I finally finish the darn thing lol.

I also thought about bed-lining it so it would kinda match the truck, but I think ill just have it powdercoated black.

I think im going to have to mod the mounts on mine sometime in the near future and i will probably bed line it then because the rattle can paint isnt holding up to rocks from the tires.

The Dupli-color is holding up very well. I havnt put it through any tough stuff, but it has taken rock hits and stuff, and no problems at all.

OH YEAH, dude I just saw the same exact kit I got on sale for like $60 or $70 bucks at our local Advanced Auto. Its usually $100, so thats a pretty good deal.

I mounted it to high. when the tailgate is down and has any weight on it then it rubs on the bumper. So im going to have to cut them and add in about a 1/2 inch offset, might even bring it out about 1/4 inch.

That's autozone.

Advanced auto is on the same road, just further into Nashville (1.5 miles) on the right.
