Default Installed tire carrier

Got my Detours Tailbone installed today. Relatively straight forward install. My bumper skin was a little "deformed" so some creative solutions had to be done with a grinder and some elbow grease. Took about a day and a half working off and on for a hour here and there (Even though the last couple days have been mild, the GA heat still brutal) Anyways, finished product:

It looks nice, but it would be cool if they added some sort of way to move your lic. plate.

NOPE!!!! No mention of it at all on the website nor when we talked about that specifically....might be an option but doesn't come with one. I would've bought it. Might be referencing the Slimline, but the Tailbone doesn't come with one.

It came with mine and I never talked with Mark about it. It's two pieces that bolt to your existing lic plate holes and position it about 8" to the right. All I know is that they came with mine.

BTW, created the install write up in the chat section.

I would say yes, but its a little more level...had a slight rake in it anyways. I'm gonna put a 1" block in to compensate for it as this is probably a permanent mod

Thanks for the comments guys
