It’s staying put in the 3rd row spot with those new tie down hooks and the heavy duty strap. If I need the cargo space which is rare... I can still put it under the truck temporarily.

Nice solution. I had mine strapped face down on the right side of the cargo area, so I could use the space inside the wheel as storage.

Update from the fab shop. I’m on shift today and haven’t seen it in person but from the pictures it turned out exactly as planned.

Looks really good. You think you have a chance to jack up the truck using it without damage?

That was the plan. I’ll try it out tomorrow!

Friggen awesome. Thanks for blazing trail on this! Purposeful, compact, and lightweight.

Nirvana would be if one of our great vendors would create a bolt in solution. Much like sliders.

Got it back and it looks amazing in person.
The fab shop was Wescott Designs in North Phoenix. Jeff and his guys are super awesome. Highly recommended!!

The benefits of a high-clearance rear bumper without the weight. Awesome!

@grinchy any comments on how/if this would interfere with AHC pump location?

Wow, that came out awesome Do you have a link to the black trim you purchased where you cut the plastic.

 

[RiDE]

I am interested in knowing the price as well. That looks awesome!

 

[bemerritt]

Hopefully they saved those bend radiuses and overall shape, because I'm sure they will get some inquiries.

Should be fine. For a fab shop there would be options in the frame in that area. It would probably have to be welded.

@FlightMedic178

Looks awesome! Great idea and execution.

Did the fab address why they didn't weld a larger pad on the frame, and then weld the pipe to the pad?
