Still waiting on shims to perfect the lines (notice the corners?) and some other odds and ends that were not in the first shipment, but here's the finished version. I already took it out to push some brush back to see how it protects the flares (notice the bumper already needs cleaning) and seems to function well. I like how it accents the stance of the truck and LCA's, shocks and tierods.

Time for some RPG tierods.

I'm going to see about ordering an unfinished (or brushed) skidplate to put on when I go out abusing the truck. This skidplate is just too nice to bang up. Already emailed Tim...

which winch did you go with? So anxious for you to do pics. Doing it this weekend? Oh and make sure you have a bunch of 1/2 inch washers. I needed them on the skidplate and the bumper mounts. I'll have pictures when I sober up. I think this was a 12 beer job at least. Lining up the lights was tedious.

Wired the lights on the 15A upfitter switch (#3). Pretty bright for sure. need to re-aim them (which requires taking off the bumper and skiplate).

doesn't your bumper have an access hole for a socket below the lights?

Lights sit too far forward in the bumper for.a normal.socket (from my experience). Double swivel socket may work. But im good now. Had to use a series of washers to line everything up.

Loving this bumper. It draws even more attention than the Raptor normally does and I think it looks COOOL!!!!

Thanks, Wicked and Tim.
