Love it to death. One of the handiest things I bought the truck. It's awful stout, well built, nice coating. It looks really nice too. I like the way the mounting hardware is set up. Keeps the whole thing nice and secure. The cross bars are also close enough together that you don't need to worry about flooring for it at all. Just throw stuff on the roof, apply ratchet straps, and go.

BajaRack is a joy to work with too. Keep in mind they build to order though, so it will take a couple of weeks to get.

So Ive made a little progress with the rear bumper, not as much as I would like but I want it to be perfect.

When fitting this bumper you have to put a relief cut in the main beam to start the corner off. Then its about a 22.5 degree cut on each piece to make your 45 bend. It looks like the actual sill protection will be about that too.

This has been the scariest part

Roughly cut... planning on finishing it with some center molding off a D1 from the bone yard.

So Im working on the bumper and FedEx pulls up and ....

MUDDMOUTH,
on your rear door panel are those panhead sheet metal screws or pop rivet holding the panel in place?
