It's hard to get good pics with the spare on...and I need to make a few adjustments to the bumpstopping and the cb bracket.

surprisingly it was really easy. you can just set the bumper on the frame on the jeep before you even bolt it...it just kinda slides into place. then take a jack to one corner and make sure its perfectly level. put in all your other bolts then drill the hole. remove the jack then jack the other side. get it level then do the same. it took us 2 hrs...but we messed with the linkage system on the tire carrier for a while to make it perfect. then we spent an our doing fine tuning adjustments on the tire carrier

My Lod linked also on the way. Can this be done solo? I did front LoD mid solo but thought this one might be tougher.

yes it can...as long as you can lift the weight of the bumper. it helps to have a second hand to line stuff up and make sure your angles are correct. but yes it could be done by yourself

off road it performed fantastic. super great all around. not a single squeak from anything. honestly tho...because there is not latch like the other style, because it is linked to the tailgate...if you hit a speedbump or a pothole, or a rut type thingy off road...it bounces a little bit with a little "thud" type noise. but it doesnt bother me. i have my tire mounted as far up as possible.
