Looking real good J.... Is it just me (optical dilusion) or is the rear bumper sitting low enough to see some light between the top of the bumper and the bottom of the lower hatch?

Its the same as all the others, about 1 3/4". When the gate is down there is about 1" between the bumper and gate. This bumper is pulled further "out" than the rest, also causing it to look like there is a bigger gap.

Ah ok, early in the morning and only had one cup of coffee so wasn't sure. Stuff is looking great dude, wish I had your skill (let alone time). I finally got a new speedo cable for BeBe, been sitting on the work bench for 3wks now, just now time to get under the truck and swap it out, let alone get to stuff like welding.

Well no progress on the bumper today.. My glass guy was suppose to be here this morning, then cancelled at lunch... We'll try again tomorrow on that.. So a looong Friday to get where I wanted to be...

BUT, got a few other items off my TO-DO list..

All the trim/lights are back on, for the most part. Love the Aussie mirrors.. I had to do some creative cutting on the back side of the grill to get it to snap into postion. The intercooler sticks out a tad in the lower corner..

I had painted the TOYOTA in red, but the colors were off a little to me.. SO BLACK IT OUT BABY!

Paint that Toyota text red

That bumper is a beast! How about adding some Hi-Lift "T's" on the sides?

I thought about that Dave. Once I get the bumper how I want it I will definitely do that. Still playing with it...

Jeff, Yes building and selling those too. What size are you looking for? That is a RTT full version 54" x 84" with a cargo area. It is steel, 1" x .083" round tube and weighs in a 43# as it sits. I will end up putting 10 gutter mounts on it.. just because I can..

Let me know what you want and I'll shoot you a price shipped to you in MO.

Dave, I did have it red, but the color seemed off to me.. I hate when the color is different than the cap on spray paint...... I'll play around with that when I have more time..
