Fantastic, so I assume you didn't cut out that notch in the bumper then either?

No, I did not notch the bumper. I did not even touch the bumper. I will watch the cable for a while when I open the tailgate to make sure but I do not see the need for the notch in the bumper. The cable seems to have plenty of room when opening the gate and I can not see how it would bind or get cut.
