MBRP Tailgate Reinforcement kit. Been running it over a year now and checking the welds pretty often, no issues. YMMV!

toss the rear mounted spare in the cargo bed, till you get the new bumper/carrier, no strain if its just riding on the floor!

I've really fallen behind on updating this post. Here are a few recent pics. Auburn Gear ECTED lockers, Alloy USA 4.56 gears, steel flat fenders, ACE inner fenders. I also upgraded the hood LED light bar to a DV8 34" to match the DV8 50" up top.
