Saved my alternator, definitely.that snorkle sure came in handy there. ?‍?
This is why I want to do this bumper with the swing-out tire carrier on the rear! But, I also want to stay married. ? ? ?No pictures of the trail, just the aftermath. How many others have taken dingers behind the rear wheels? I wish the bed side wasn’t so low.
I want a bumper like this so badly, but I have to add the cost of welding to the price.This is why I want to do this bumper with the swing-out tire carrier on the rear! But, I also want to stay married. ? ? ?
The Coastal Offroad bumper is my favorite of the aftermarkets. Only the ARB with the optional hoops provides protections. But like Glocker, my wife would not like it. Plus I didn't learn to weld when I had the chance
. However I don't think she's realized what happened yet 
; it's not real noticeable so I need to find some Cactus Grey touch up paint.
I like the ARB with the hoops, however, they lower the ground clearance quite a bit whereas the COR adds clearance.The Coastal Offroad bumper is my favorite of the aftermarkets.

I love, love, love my AFN front bumper. That being said, for that price, I can pay someone to weld the COR bumper and have the additional clearance. Also, I read somewhere that AFN has stopped production of 5G parts to focus on 6G parts.@Utope @Colo_Ranger
There is another option other than the ARB bumper (and those bed protectors actually cost extra!).

It will diminish that rear clearance, but it's a damn nice bumper!
I have overlooked that option. I guess we have 3 options instead of 2 for bed side protection. It looks like they have an option for "Classic" rear bumper without the swing outs. That should make it a bit cheaper. That option is not listed on Stage3. They still show the 5G on their website, but you can't order direct from them and the link to purchase from a dealer doesn't go anywhere.@Utope @Colo_Ranger

Plus the cost of cutting off the bottom portion of the rear section of the bed, prepping, painting, etc. ?
I think there's a rubber molding to cover the cut edge, so some brush on scratch filler should be enough to protect against rust and it won't be seen.
Maybe you just need a taller truck
