Mudiak. Two more things I noticed in your photos...

1. The leading edge of the front skid should be on top of the bumper. I did this to reduce the chance of it hooking on something and possibly getting bent down. The angles that are formed into the skid, are such that the two overlapping pieces of metal fit tightly when the skid is on the top. You might notice the way you have it right now, that the lip of the skid does not fit truly "flat" against the bumper. To fix it...you'll need to pull the skid off and install the captive nuts to the skidplate and not the bumper...then reinsert the bolts thru the bumper and tighten them onto the skid (backwards from how it is now). Its not a big deal and clearly it will fit either way but it will fit tighter the other way. Might be less prone to popping & squeaking, too.

2. Grab a can of black spray paint, and open your rear hatch door. Mask off for overspay, and shoot the door jamb (along the bottom) to hide where the bumper meets the body. Because you're truck is white...you got a real ugly contrast back under the shadow of the hatch door. I have many customers with yellow, red, and white that have done this and it hides the contrast very nicely. Once again...its a minor item but, I thought I would mention it.

Yup on the skid I gotta go back and do that once I had it mounted I realized what I did :no:

I think I am also going to black out the rad support so you can't see white throught the grill.

Also more thinking and reading I need to widen the gap between grill and winch with body flex right now the grill would deff hit. just add it to my weekend project list
