The Tuffy rear security enclosure blocks the light back there (which isn't very bright) so I added a rechargeable, magnet mount LED work light. It can also be removed to use as an area light.

I do like the finishing product, but not a fan of assembly, nothing hard it is just a lot of holes are not lined up properly and hardware not matching the instruction. Since we have to stay at home, I took slowly approach and that paid off.

Just remember, it is a stamped steel bumper, so similar to Mopar steel bumper in terms of longevity. Definitely not able to smash rocks like the big ugly metal chunks and tubes weld together. But it looks nice especially the two-tone flavor.

BTW: be careful about Rugged Ridge Rebate program, they are bag of weasels and will try any opportunity to deny your claim.
I am also kinda liking the Warn bumper but I don't see too many people choosing it.

Crazy 70mph winds here on Long Island. My front lawn tree was obviously gonna fall on my neighbor's car, so I called him at work and used the winch to stop the tree from falling! first use of the Warn Winch!

This is after he moved his car away....I'm gonna have to leave it like this all night I guess.....

Took it in to the dealership because I had an oil spot the size of a dinner plate under it this morning!

I got the replacement 3rd Brake Light and got it installed.
I used these plugs so I can replace it if needed:

I drilled a small hole in the tire carrier for a zip tie to hold the wiring:

And out for a drive today:

Do you have a link to those plugs? That's the cleanest way to do it for sure!

Does all that extra light interfere with the camera when it dark?

Eddie from [Banned Site] sells them. I had a buddy at work fab it out of scrap. Cost me $0 Mine is a much steeper angle and has to be removed to open the tailgate. I wanted max clearance.
Copy, I'll make one this weekend. Thanks for the advice.

How hard was putting on a big two color decal? I’m thinking of doing it but having the 1941 across the front of the blackout.
Honestly it was a pain in a#@! because this was the first decal I put on myself. Recommend taking your time and making sure you put a good amount of slip solution on it. And. maybe letting the first color dry before placing the top color on. I didn't wait so the. bottom kept shifting a bit with the contour. of the hood. but I used a heat gun to get it smooth afterwards.
