Some great work there, looks a little close to the tailgate though and are you gonna run a brace to the frame for those wrap around sides? They'll eventually get pushed into the rear panel if yo hit enough rocks.

Yes, brace will be there. This isn't my first 4runner rear bumper/carrier. Not much choice keeping it close to the tailgate either. I didn't want to sacrifice anymore departure angle on the ass end. It barely misses the black Toyota piece above the license plate as of now, but I will add a rubber cushion shortly. 

Eventually I will add in a slight exo from a set of sliders back to it which should keep it from flexing too much.
