We did the infamous Fins n Things and Hell's Revenge, both were very wild. Definitely the craziest offroading I have ever done.

My two words of advice, definitely get skids and definitely get rock sliders

Finally received my ironman bumper and got her installed.

Should do just fine.

Do you have a video for this install? I'd like to do a similar install on mine soon.

I don’t, I just ran some short self tappers into the plastic. I put my very heavy Grill on it without issue.

Icons are on! I foresee some trimming in my future. View attachment 2734772

Are those the Icon Rebound wheels? I was looking at those on Discount Tire and liked them and actually wanted the bronze as well, but it didn't look as bronze-like color on the website, but I like that shade if it is.

They honestly look a different color every time I look at them

Hahaha not too long. We are getting out into the woods this weekend so I’ll be able to really test her out

Tip for your RTT: make sure your latter is situated so your bed platform is flat. In the picture your ladder is too vertical and your tent bed is tipped up a wee bit.
We have the iKamper which is similar to your layout, so when we select our camp site, she (the wife) always stands in front (or rear) of the vehicle to let me know how far to scoot the ladder in or out to get the tent level.

That’s as flat as it would go without weight on it. Letting the ladder off the ground entirely resulted in that slight up angle

Found a Wilco tire carrier local, I can't imagine paying full price for one of these. They are very solidly built, but some of them are half the price of an entire bumper with swingout...

regardless, my spare is no longer inside my truck and I couldn't be happier with that. I'm headed to Moab in two days so not enough time to rebuild the box to add a 3rd drawer, but a new box is on the horizon.

Tomorrow, I will be fabbing up a license plate bracket and working on the rear view camera relocation.

Now the question is should I do the bumper cut before I leave...

Photo heavy from our trip to Moab

Nice pics! Question: what are the 2 things hanging off the top bar of the Ironman bumper? I'm guessing the black thing is a go pro (or a knock off) but can't tell what the teal colored thing is.
