noticed that you angled the corners front to back instead of bottom to top i cut mine on a 45 degree to help with the bumper hanging up on anything


I am going to have more 2x4 running forward to the wheelwell that will join at that 45 degree cut. I thought about angling the corner with another cut, but this way is about as simple as it gets.

Today I finished bolting everything up and I jacked the truck up from the bumper. It flexed enough to take up the 1/2 inch gap I had between it and the tailgate. The tubing didn't seem to bend visibly, just the plate. I trust it to hold up as a bumper until I remake the brackets.
