looks good, I remember you selected carefully, (and did some super work on it...which brings me to my car detective work, and a warning to others)
turns out my vehicle has had a hit to the rear end, same as my spare.
when I was removing damaged metal from the tyre shred, came across mig welds, and green paint, and then i noticed it clear as dogs bollocks staring at me all this time,
TELLTALE slight deformation of main chassis leg just in front of towbar
they must take a hit on the towball, this one seems to have been repaired under insurance a long time ago, I would guess, the driver side D-pillar was mig welded, (not factory spot) but had detached after the latest incidence
oh well, she will never be perfect, did the best I could mig welded in new metal, and made sure water cant get in , fishoil everywhere too
my tailgate had no shims either, which I will need to make, have a post-update tailgate seal that is in very good condition, so hopefully will fit my pre-update, as my seal is degraded
tailgate bumpers all adjusted , chewed out pin replaced with used...NO rattle
