There is something about a nice rear end...

Thanks for that link DavidRam. Looks fairly simple, hardest parts should be removing the hitch and bumper. UPS tracking says it'll arrive tomorrow. So I may try and test fit it this weekend.

The bumper removal is dead easy, it's 6 bolts IIRC and it's light as hell. I had mine off in less than 10 minutes before the guy who was buying it could even crawl under to take a look at what was needed. Hitch is heavy, if you have another person handy use them.

Thanks for the info. Good to know it's that easy for the bumper. I'd like to test fit the pan then reinstall the stock bumper while I get the roll pan painted. Instead of driving around with no bumper for a week.

Does the pan come with holes for the license plate lights? Or will I have to cut my own out?

You'll need to cut the hole for the light. I ordered a light with mine but never installed it

Well i didnt get to test fit. Got sick friday night and lasted till Sunday. But I decided I'm going to try the bolt on LED license plate lights. I can find them cheap on ebay for about $10. For being that cheap, I don't mind trying them out.

Will do my best when I start doing all of this. Hopefully I'll get to test fit this weekend.

I'm a bit biased to my own taste, however, my personal opinion is dumping the exhaust with a turndown behind the axle.

Clean lines without having to cut holes.

What make/model truck is that? And are those Escalade rims?

87 Mazda B2000, body dropped 2.5", 3 link rear suspension, obviously air at all 4 corners, Viair 450c, 5g tank, 1/2" plumbing with 1/2" electric valves.

Yes, Escalade wheels with the centers machined out to bolt right on the truck. Just takes a special lugnut.

Truck has about 10k on the rebuild, I rarely drive it but when I do it's a kick in the pants.
