Didnt like the location of the rear plate. Now that the bumpers are moved in I tackled it. I removed the stock mounting plate, flipped it upside down and screwed it in the lower panel with silicone and larger sheet metal screws. Looks way better I think.

Looks so much better! It's amazing sometimes changing something so small can have such a big impact... Good job!

That sawsall is pretty handy Csaba :D I had to cut the R.I.P. 78 in half with it to get it on the trailer and out of my driveway before the neighbors complained...

Looks great. I like the white, was considering that color on my repaint. White yellow or keep it blue, not sure yet. I used some carriage bolts to fill the over rider holes. I have found some already curved ones Im going to try for the front when I get to there.
