Bumper is solid, there was a little vibration in the carrier but I fixed it with a rubber door stop. The latch is awesome and the best part about everything is that is pins in place and can be locked.

Sweet. I ordered mine from Adam today. I run a few of his other products and everything has been top notch. Looking forward to these

The "wish I had money for this sh**" list goes: lockers (which are coming soon), LT or SAS (LT I could do myself but it'd be a little expensive, SAS is doable price wise as a buddy of my dads owns a toyota yard with plenty of first gen axles laying about and he can be easily persuaded with some beer and cigars but the install would take a good while and this is my DD) A little more lift depending on what I do to the front (I've always liked the look of coilover SA's and rear end TG leafs) THEN once I have more clearance, bigger tires and a possible 3.4 swap. Then hopefully (for my bank accounts sake) I'll be happy with it for a while but let's be honest who is ever really "finished" with a build
 
Okay so apparently I bring a whole new meaning to Murphy's law, the saying "measure thrice cut once" and hell you could even say 2 left feet. Today AFTER I GOT DONE finish welding my sliders, I notced that I essentially had welded 2 Drivers sides. I was able to grind everything down and renotch and weld the back right but I figured I'd give y'all a good laugh. I've gotten too good at grinding...

OH MAN! What a pita! Haha. Truck looks great!
 
Sliders are solid and I get a lot more travel outta my rear now and that is with the stock sway bar and links. And yes I know this is possibly the worst way I could have jacked it up lol

She got her first major booboo this weekend. Damn concrete pillar. Came outta nowhere... The bumper was twisted but we were able to move it back into place. The tire mount twisted and the tire hit the tailgate. I will be making a new mounting plate and gusseting the hell outta everything so this doesn't happen again

i would be careful about building too much more strength into it... all you are gonna do is move the "weak point" somewhere else, like the frame or the bumper or the hinge ect. and those might be harder to fix that the tire mount... its nice to have a weak spot that simple to fix and will save other parts or systems that are harder to fix/repair or replace... just my $.02
