I was going to go with the regular winch bumper but he has a combo special going so I decided to deck out both front and rear . The fit was spot on, nice, clean welds. I'm very happy with it so far.

I cut past the spot welds. Haha!! I hate cut and fold. I cut all the way up and gutted my wheel well so it's open. Then took the carpet out cuz a little water gets in

Looks amazing. My cut and fold has some bad spots and some good spots.

Did you design your rear bumper, or did you find the design somewhere?

The previous owner of my 2 dr hacked the rear all to ****, like yours but way less clean. He cut out the seam for the rear fender, cut slits in the wheel well at the top going from the fender in towards the body and then he folded the slit peices up into the body. Anytime it rains or i go through mud the interior carpet back there gets soaked.

Did you figure out a way to block it off from water or anything?

Pull up some carpet and put some silicone around the seams. That's sounds like it would work.

That won't work, when the truck moves and flexes the seams open and close, silicone would fall out. They need to be welded back together.
