Not to steal the tread but was planning on doing mine prob in the next two weeks. What I am doing is making bumpers out of 2x6 and cutting the rear 1/4 panel off and extend the 2x6 around where the metal used to be. That way in the future I can use it for exocage. Was going to cut right at the second crease(the bottom one) and fit the 2x6 into it and weld it together. Seal everything tight. Jeff CamoXJ
