I need to help my son get a grocery list of stuff done on his in the meantime as well.

Taking em further back will be worth the effort. Knowing they'll hold vs hopeing they hold will allow you to have confidence in your build and thus more time having fun than worrying. And if you decide on a winch one day you'll already be tied in real nice! Now show off the bumper sucker!

Yeah, that is why I got mine, too

They do not come with the flap itself (or didn't when I got mine), but a gigundo 18 wheeler flap is like $9 at the trailer supply store. You can cut both flaps from one of those, most likely.

If i were to do one for a daily driven vehicle i wouldve made sure it was in spec... which is usually like .003". But for what mine is, its perfect.
