LOL! Actually he was under my truck getting the bolts on at while pulling on the ratchet...towards his face...it slipped. Nailing him good. I've heard stories of people knocking themselves out doing that.

It seems to be a good, quality wrenching injury.
I busted my right thumb installing the Slee rear bumper, but then again, I'm not the smartest wrencher around.

Just so the other thread doesn't turn into a freaking battle, here are the IPOR specific issues:
• Having the Hi-Lift mounted under the tire on the bumper COULD have completely screwed me if it was the right side that was wedged
• Having to remove the spare tire JUST to take off the Hi-Lift was a major pain in the ass
• Because of the slope of bottom of the bumper I didn't feel safe using the corners of the bumper to lift
• I was going to use the recovery points to lift from but instead used the hitch
• If I had the fuel cans I would have had some damage to the tailgate
• There really should be either grooves or a short metal bar on the corners to use as a lift point just n case
• The bumper really did save the right corner from getting smashed in so I probably already got my money's worth
• Mounting a 60" hi-Lift would be TOO LONG if when the jerry can swing-out is on
• The 48" Hi-Lift base ALMOST smashed my driver's side turn signal had I not seen the impending damage and stopped the motion of the swing out
• There NEEDS to be a swing-out limiter to keep the Hi-Lift base from doing damage

my biggest beef with the IPOR bumper is not having side support tie-ins like the slee does. It will take a hit, i'm not arguing that, but it does have a lot of flex on the side wings.

Well after my last trip I am 100% convinced that it needs them. It also needs a safe place to lift from the wing side as well.

Its there, I just kept that one attached to the old bumper. And yes for sale but trying to find someone to get the whole set up. Once I split the set I will have pieces sitting for months trying to sell.

Yeah- that wasn't pretty.
Didn't slow you down much though.
