I welded the pinch seam back together after trim, then filled in back with expand foam.

I will take more pic tomorrow with better detail. Both great fabs, going to do a 2x5 rear bumper with 2x3 under the quarter panels and then tire carrier to top it off.

All dun with rear quarters!! Turned out better than expected. I highly recommend this fabrication, I am getting great clearance and better access to rear leafs

Thanks, I got a few guys wanting me to cut up theirs now. Still deciding on a rear tube or 2x5 bumper. I think the 2x5 looks better with tire carrier. I have been pretty fortunate about not getting any major bruises on my body yet while in the trail. Of course I'm more of a technical wheeler than a pedal to the metal one. I love the rush of not knowing what your gonna break next and then the fun part of upgrading or beefing up the part that breaks.
