Looks very cool. I think it pretty much completes your truck, good job!

It should not rock side to side. There is a gold piece that goes at the end which slides into the hitch. It has a bolt that you tighted with an extension which prevents it from moving. Mine does not move at all. What brand is yours?

Did you mount the rear view camera on the top?

No the camera is still in the same place but you cant see ****. Im waiting till I take it in for the train horns. Im gonna have him do a switch panel for me and custom mount it somewhere. Then he can play with the camera.

Yeah that piece has a bolt. The head of the bolt should be tightend by using an extension from the front of the tire gate. Just make sure you keep an eye out for the side holes bc it pulls it tighter and pushing the side pin could be a pain,

i agree with nuts. i more dirt under there than you have! haha :p but still it looks good. itll look a lot better with the new spare! but hey its spare. it dosent need to be pretty. im just surprise that ford didnt give you a matching stock spare. so you could have at least rocked the stocker. my moms 4runner came with a matching rim and tire. what ever. and yeah my spare is underneath too. i want to permamount it inside the cab, but i have to take people with me so i need the 3rd row sometimes. still it looks good. i like it.

tom spare is in same spot on later gens. but once you get bigger tires they dont fit in stock locale. btw looks good sol. but thought it would be a lil bigger for some reason. And btw driving the rain and getting rain splatter does not count as being dirty. :D
