Departure Angle

OMG! Give me your rear bumper now! That's beautiful. Does it work with the OEM spare location? I think i'm just going to cut and dump them right after the OEM muffler.

Sorry, I forgot to note that mine is a Gen 1.

But Dave (again at Krazy House Customs or "KHC") has a very similar design available for the Gen 2 trucks. I don't think the bumper itself would cause any issues with the OEM spare location. However, my custom pipes certainly will.

That said, the spare really needs to be in the bed if you're going to do any serious off-roading. It's just too hard to get to underneath. My truck is at KHC getting prepped for the upcoming SnoBall 500, including a bed cage...

My plan is to have the spare in the stock location when using it as a dd and road trips. I do a lot of dirt biking and moutianbiking and a spare in the bed plus 3 dirt bikes would be an issue. When doing any serious off-roading, which I only do about 4 times a year, I’d drop the spare and move it to the bed. Your exhaust setup is great and that KHC bumper is by far my favorite. I love the front bumper too, it’s beautiful, but it’s almost too tame for my liking.
