New Bumper!!!

[HemisAreSlow]

Just got done installing my new Iron Bull Bumper!!!! Thanks to Tank and the guys for the fast shipping and a quality product. Took me 4 hours working by myself from start to finish...including mounting and wiring the lights. I would highly recommed having a friend or two give you a hand with a project like this. The only way I was able to get it done was with the help of our forklift. Sadly from not having any assitance I ended up scraping the dura-liner off the bumper in a few spots while muscling it into position.....nothing that can't be fixed. Installation was pretty straight forward, I was able to use the factory bolts from the factory bumper brackets to attach the iron bull brackets......my only complaint with the bumper is that I had to run out to the store to pick up all the bolts, washers, lock washers, and nuts needed to mount the bumper to the brackets......I would have assumed they would come with the bumper. All and all I am very satisfied with the bumper....can't wait to get a winch for it. Better pics to come soon.

I'm glad you like it,......

But go easy...the liner takes about a month to fully cure, you should've got someone to help you,..but I'm glad to know it wasn't too bad.

I asked the boss about the "bolt issue",..his answer was,.."liability issue,...the stock bolts are stronger than grade 8, and most model trucks,..you can use the stock ones. And if we did supply bolts,..if they broke and someone got hurt,..we'd be liable."

He did tell me to let you know,..to fix the spots,..get some stuff called GOOP from Homedepot,..he says it works awesome.

FYI to any that install a heavy aftermarket bumper, a engine hoist, with a centering fixture are a must, whil mine was a Bukstop install, this will work on any of them when having to do it by yourself

You really need to paint that grille black.

yeah IDK about that...I think I like having a little chrome to tie in with the rims and the badging
