Got the passenger side bed protection started, mainly fully welded. Taking a lunch break at the moment..
See, the stock bottle jack is good for something

Don't worry, I will add support or gussets where needed/ possible.

I would drop it so it covers the back up light instead of the turn signal. You will be less likely to have the cops mess with you. just my .02
You can still see the turn signals blink from all sides.. I'm not too worried about it..

Id drop it or make it higher man, it totally blocks the signal imho.

How many passes did it take to fill that gap where the angled piece meets the top of the "hoop"? The welds will suffer if the gap is too big. I'd lower it too. Seems like a rock could easily get in there.

Can you still remove the light to changes bulbs if need be?
I'd have to pull the 4 bolts for the bumper, at that point the thing kind of falls backwards but stays on the truck. I can change them out like that. Won't be a biggie.Originally Posted by strykersd

I haven't updated this in a while..
I chopped off the square side protection and got some tube bent up...
I went to Jason's (Roctac) house last night and got the tube side protection bent up. He said it was practice for him.. I brought the beer.. And Scott (speedsg) came and helped out.
Big thanks to the both of them :kewl:
We left a little room so I can cut the bumper for 35's.

I think have just enough room to add one of these right behind the taillight
I still have to add a hitch and some extra side support. (Longest drawn out bumper build ever..I know)
So stay tuned.
