Yea, I'm not trimming the back at all, unless I decide after wheeling it that I can't live without the travel.

I can't live with the little holes from the bracket on the quarter, and I think the cut and fold of that whole piece looks like ****. So... It's not gonna happen right now. My trim **** is pealing on the passenger side already. I've got some gorilla glue to go on it though.

I fixed my leaky rear diff cover today. There was a ton of **** between the cover and the housing, I know where I peeled it back, it's been a couple months ago, it was just a REALLy slow drip.

Mine has been on for less than two weeks, and is falling down in the curve of the passenger side, I'm gonna put gorilla glue on and if that comes off then ill just paint that little lip black and fall it a day.

I got a wilderness rack from a guy I work with, got it mounted last night. It'll need paint when the weather gets warm or someone lets me paint in their garage. I've got my spare tire up there, and I have some reverse lights ready to go on it.

I don't know the exact model, but it's a garvin industries wilderness rack, I think it's the offroad series. I got it from a guy I work with.
