I was going threw this whole thread again and admiring your work when something occurred to me on about page 19. I noticed that your tailgate opened all the way sits flush on the rear bumper. Then I recalled you were going to run FJ40 tail lights in it for some class. With the 40 taillights on there are you at risk of crushing the lenses every time you open your tail gate? I seem to recall for some reason you saying you might run some other taillights but for the life of me I cannot find the post. Here are some pics of what i'm talking about.

Nick-
Glad to have a friend like you in my corner. You are totally right, one of my club members pointed it out to me as well. The way the lid hinges it may clear, but probably not. I will have to use either a rubber bumper (think rubber stop) and or a set of limiting cables (more likeyl).
Man, you need to come out to my house and go over this with a fine tooth comb, I appreciate it... and anyone else that sees a problem I would ask you to speak up! Not that I will change it though
Thanks man.
