What do you mean by the new lower bumper? The skid plate?

I wouldn't see any advantage to removing the bumper just to get to the skid plate, but there's a lot involved in removing the skid plate, including removing some plastic trimming that surrounds the steel bumper. There are metal clips under there that probably need a special tool to remove...

Not sure on the best bet to making it more permanent. Bead-blasting the factory finish could make the paint adhere better, but that would require removing the plate, having access to bead-blasting equipment, and worrying about rust. Line-X is textured, so getting the star pattern sharp would...

Great work-in-progress thread. Later this year or next, I’m going to mount a Wilco low-Pro rack to my bed and put a Smittybilt on top of it.

Agreed. I also thought the comments would be GM fans pretending the Silverado was perfect, but far from it. They see the same problems with the new model that everyone else does (bad interiors and terrible front-end design).

Rattle-can, masking tape, and 3" star stickers. The flag dimensions are available at http://www.usflag.org/flagspecs.html I did the math, and they work out to the following on the Rebel skid plate: overall width = 54" star backdrop = 29.07" stripe width = 4.1526" star diameter = 3.264"...

Agreed. The color of the skid plate was about the only design choice on the new Rebel I didn't like. Question is, will FCA sell the black plate separately...

The biggest knock on the series is the constant, pointless name-dropping of the Raptor. They're endlessly calling the Raptor "king of off road" or "the best off road truck" or other silly superlatives. The Raptor's only big advantage over the Rebel is its suspension, which can take landings...

Thanks!

Just finished mine. The paint will likely be extraordinarily delicate, since I didn't sand down the plate, I just rattle-canned over it. However, I didn't want to worry about rust when it inevitably scratched anyway, so I left the nice finish under it. When it gets worn, it'll just have that...
