Ok so got my bumper all painted, 3 day process because of rain.
So today i finlay got to remove the factory bumper finaly after and hour or so, i then get my MC bumper too put and well it dosent fit =(...the side support mounts on the bumper are off 1\4"...there to close to togather, not far enough to fit on the frame.

Any one have any tips to what i can do, the only thing i know to do is cut one of the support mounts off and bolt it on and the re-weld the one mount back onto it

thanks

 

Did you tell them the year of the truck? if so are you tightening the mounting hardware as you go or just getting them started?

If the above doesn't help Marlin has a product support section on the forumn. Post up with pics.

Or call them

Or both

 

GOOD NEWS!!!...ITS ON =)...just had to bend the mounts just a bit, and they slid rite on....

with all that said and done, just i torque the bolts???...if so how much

 

just tighten them as hard as you can!

 

yeup i had the same problem pics?

heres mine

 

I was just gonna say, Use a pry bar and bend that sob on.

Tighten the bolts tight.

 

I also hear you should do a small weld on the back, a vertical weld on the frame and bumper.

x2 for pics

 

So clean! Stupid NE road salt has killed my body panels.

 

you are correct about the small bead...if not the bumper will go up or down if used as a recovery point...mine is now welded
