You definitely do gain departure angle. I put the Rancho carrier on a few weeks ago and wheeled the same weekend...oh my God! Hit the bumper soo many times coming off of steep rocks. For the trails I wheel, the Rancho is NOT the way to go. I had my guy fab up a different style lock pin because that thing took a beating. I rather have no bumper at all. Saves SOO much on departure angle.

Looks great. Can't wait to peep the finished product. Now you should do the tailgate conversion. That kit is ok but if you fabbed this you can make one better.

Awesome Idea
That is very cool. I was thinking about something like this for when I am on the trail, so I don't accidentally dent the rear. What did you use, or did you fab them, to connect it to the rollbar? Do you have any measurements?

Is there any chance you planned on taking some more distant pictures where we can see the whole Jeep? Possibly with no top? I know I asked before but man, i still really want to see this, I have a feeling I may really like this setup.
