Tried to install steel 3 piece Rubicon type bumper up front, along with Rubicon skid plate (that bolts to bumper) but ran into big trouble.
The skid plate brackets like used on Rubicon (both skid plate types) won't work with Draw-Tite front receiver.
The skid plate brackets go where the receiver bolts to the frame. Not enough room or clearance for both so I have to decide between the skid plate and the receiver. (or ANY skid plate! since I can't use brackets with this receiver)

Also found rust starting already on the front ends of the frame.

Both sides in this spot - and others -

Put bed lights in on Sunday. These aren’t Oracle, just 3 four foot long waterproof LED strips. I mounted each strip to the bottom of the trail rails and ran power to Aux 4. I could have just tied into existing bed lights, but those shut off after a bit.

Installed the export mirrors and proximity door handles today. The wide angle mirrors are perfect for towing. Now just waiting on the mirror jumper wiring for the signals.
Interesting. I didn't know they had a signal variant. Do you happen to have part numbers?

This is concerning. Did you treat it, and how?

Under the lighting section we are still working on getting these to be a direct plug and play for the signals to work however right now they require the to wire be tapped to for the signal light to function.
