I have a "Friend" more of an acquaintance that has an orange 88 i think? Well one night him and a friend of mine went 4 wheeling up this wooded hill near by my house and he got stuck so in his drunken stupor he decided to try backing down the hill. However i guess he wasn't paying attention and backed into a tree, the spare tire rack pushed into the TG and shattered the glass. He also Effed up his bumper and messed it up probably more than yours. He enlisted my help to try fixing these problems, but i know nothing about replacing the rear glass and tailgate. his bumper he can handle cause he put his custom front one on but he had never taken the window out before. I haven't talked to him in a while so i don't know how far he has gotten but i'm sure nor far.

I don't see the problem, just hit a rock with the other side of the bumper, and you will be all set, it will be smiling at the person behind you!

Where are you in SC ??.....the rear step bumper takes a beating on the trail .....even with 33" tires.....I really need something a little tighter to the body and less low hanging.....might make me a custom tube bumper.
