Looks awesome. A full tire carrier bumper though could be had for not much more. Id be curious to see how this would hold up with a 35"...

Got one with a 33 on it, will handle 35 no problem as it mounts under(not to) your bumper to the frame-could not be any stronger!

Yup should work, my 33X12.5 does not move. Call Mark at Detours to make sure!

What about when your yanking someone out of the mud with the recover points. Will it rip the factory bumper with it??

Detours makes quality stuff. I have the Slimline, which is the full wraparound bumper and could not be happier. 35" wheels are not a problem.

Tailbone is fully bolted to the frame - it just sticks through the factory bumper for a cleaner look.
