Thanks for the info! I’m excited! After seeing your truck, it motivates me to finish mine! Lol I already have flares, raptor replica grill for an 18’, oem raptor bumper, oem led tail lights, Morimoto headlights, wheels, tires, oem led third brake light, and I think that’s it. I’m trying to wait for the 19’ limited rear bumper so I can get everything color matched and installed already but I’m getting impatient lol I have a magma red truck btw.

it looks really good, that's exactly the way I would have done it if it were mine. Good call.

That has me thinking of an 18 front end conversion with that bumper now... That looks REALLY good. Some lights in the bumper would really finish it off nicely

Thanks! Working on some fog lights/inserts for the bumper at the moment. Hoping to use 70mm Morimoto XB LED fogs, or similar, with a custom bezel and using the same honeycomb that I used in the grille to fill the rest. Hoping to do something similar to this but with a fog light in each too.

Finally got mine installed. Had to drill a hole in the skid plate for the rear to mount up like JCROUCH initially suggested. Huge fan of the look and honestly don't hate the silver as much as I expected to.

Default Rear bolts

Were you able to reuse the bolts for the rear of the skid plate or did you need longer ones? Did the skid plate support (bar for the back of the skid plate) come with the bolts?

I was was considering just getting some thick metal washers for the rear.

Got it the front brackets and skid plate coming just looking to move forward on the rest before I have it here to look at.

Thanks.
