Looking good

Thanks it's going. Used the times to lube up the arms and get the cambolts in now to get her aligned

Nice score...you should have grabbed his ABS sensors for your upcoming Titan Swap.

Oh I'm not gonna lie, I was more stoked about the bumper for the price I got it

When you installed the cam bolts, did you use anti-seize?  I would throw some of that in there when you get chance, you'll never have to spray them again.

[valentin36]

Mmmm I didn't. It's some good thinking.

Anti-seize will help the shop when they have to turn the bolts for adjustments.  It'll also keep them from seizing up solid.

So fuck my life. Don't laugh but I fucked up. So happy to have the bumper didn't realize needs mounting bravketa special for it. So guess what I don't have.
Well on the bright side my dad works in welding so we custom making some
And look roof like bar up with off road gorilla light at mounts

[valentin36]

We put a halt on the roof rack to make the brackets. Can't seem to finish one project before running to more issues. Deep sigh

[JFanaselle]

The brackets are probably on the rig the bumper was harvested from. I'll bet you can call that salvage yard and ask them to pull them off and ship them to you. Another option would be to call Shrockworks and see if they'll sell you a set of brackets only, but that would take longer. They're probably pumping out a few sets now because of the recent group buy, and I'd bet you could get them to make you a pair for not a ton of money (relative to the cost of a new bumper) while they have the jig set up.

Fabricated. My dad gets a 10.

Do NOT winch with those brackets... you will tear the frame horns.  Proper brackets need to also utilize the bottom holes to be strong enough

[valentin36]

I've seen that! This thingy right?
So does it just need a plate down there or better if it's welded. Or can someone send a pic of what it looks like?

[Jayrat]

That is one piece ,it hugs the inside front and bottom

[valentin36]

So just make sure it's nice and tight pushed up against the bracket we made then, so question. No winching without. Can I still use the recovery points to pull someone or be pulled out?
