Still waiting for them from the UPS man...but they are going on each side of the tire. They are actually a sideways mounted can so they will butt right up against the tire.

That sir is a SICK setup. I ended up keeping my stocks bumpers because I've got the stock tire carrier.
But man that is awsome!

I love it. It's nice and clean. Is it like the same dimensions as the stock bumper or just pretty close? I've never seen this done before. Whenever I get around to building my bumpers I think I'm going to do this for both. It looks like you upgraded your exhaust? I like the look of that too. I think I'm going to check out your build thread.

It's close to the original shape, but not exact.

As for my exhaust...I got rid of the tail pipe it had, which was 2", (because my shackle hit it when flexing) and added a 2.5" pipe from the cat back and fabbed it up to exit where you see it in the last pic. Sounds better there too!
