Not gonna lie, that's pretty damn sick. Just had an idea after looking at it for a while. In my opinion I think it would look even more badass if the bumper was built up to fit flush with the bed and fill the void left by the OEM gate. Then maybe do some fiberglass work on the sides to fill those voids and hide the bolts. Just a thought. How does the backside look? I assume you kept the reverse cam in the emblem.

It would look cool for sure...Bumper was designed to fit OEM tailgate, that's why you have that white gap all around...I was thinking of painting those voids in black, cuz I need to be able to put back the OEM tailgate easily, so I need to keep that void free...I saw somehwere on FRF somone who did some aluminium panels on the sides but that's one difficult job to do !!

Hmm what if someone with some engineering or CAD skills could design some sort of cap that would bolt up to the voided area? That way it would be removable when you wanted to reinstall the OEM gate. Just some off-the-wall ideas while I try to make the night shift pass more quickly. It does look pretty awesome though.

Here's what I did with mine when I removed my tailgate. Hard to see but it was the only pic I could find at the moment. The bumper was made to sit up high to hide the gap and the "tailgate delete covers" (as I like to call them) attach by dzus fasteners up top and bottom, so they come off with two twists.

I'll try to find some better pics.

Yours has definitely been one of my favorite builds. I'm a sucker for anything OD green or FDE. If I ever break down and get mine wrapped 95% sure it'll be FDE. Those caps are very nice. Very well done.

Thanks man. FDE would be sick.

Great looking rear!


Last weekend I got to drive @Witchy and @OrangeAddict's Carnivore home from the hospital with a new special package.

I would have jumped it, but don't think Kade would have liked it... not yet anyway.
