That might be my favorite rear bumper. The front you have, is that a frame cut?

It is not a frame cut. LEX Motorsports makes it—it is the Baja Brute. @Truckzor has it too. It has very clean lines and hugs the valence well for a non-frame cut bumper.

It could just be the angle, but the skid plate seems to stick out like a sore thumb near the lower crossmember.

Nothing looks better on a Raptor than a dovetail rear bumper and a minimalist front bumper that stays close to the front valence.

Great fab work, it looks good. Front bumper work looks bad ass too. Too bad you were in the second place gang. <1>

Why are those plugs recommended?
