Thanks for the pics

Question:
The 6 holes are...
3 on each side
Two on the front where the stock bumer bolts to
One ... to the TOP of the frame - not under the tow hooks?

Wanna know if it will interfere with the King Kong Steering arm that I have

 

Needs a small stinger to finish it off

 

i have one on my runner theres pics of it in my build thread. you guys are lucky that got it in two days it took them a month and a half to get mine. and i live in norcal usualy i get stuff shipped by them next day.

 

There are actually 10 bolt holes. 6 on the front (3 per side) and 4 on top (2 per side) You can see in my 3rd installed pic, the hole on the front just above the tow hook that doesn't line up (same on the other side as seen in the fourth pic) Installed pic 5 shows one top bolt hole not lined up which was the same on both sides. Those tabs are on the top of the frame rail. There is nothing on the bottom of the frame rail. Nothing to interfere with tow hooks.

 

anyone got pics of this with the stinger???

 

for more pics... who else has this bumper

 

I liked the MC tube bumper the best; blinker light tabs, and front receiver were really attractive features to me. I called, and the very-nice-girl on the phone informed me that they DID have stock for my truck, so I had mine in about a week! NICE
A good coat of RustOLeum later... and i faced the daunting task of lining up the holes... with some negotiation, and getting things in just the correct order was able to get ALL but TWO holes populated, the two large top center holes are tipped inwards by about 1/4" on each side. I would have to put a ram in between and force them apart, or get out the Dremel... I think I'll opt for the latter...
I don't understand how the alignment can be off by that much, but... there's probably factors there I don't understand.
All-in-all, I'm jazzed with my purchase of this bumper. I finally DID get my hawes fairlead installed... :-) BTW that SmittyBilt XRC8 winch for $299 is a KILLER deal.

NOW to get my ALL-PRO sliders installed!! :-)

 

This the one I have on mine. Have'nt had the truck too long so I can't really give you a review. But it looks like it's pretty strong to me.

Just for s and giggles what did everybody pay for shipping

 

i should have the bumper coming soon. Mine has the stinger. I think i paid about 30 dollars to ship it from nor cal to so cal.

 

Hmm... I think mine was $27 to AZ

 

mine should be here soon! They said prolly early next week.

 

I ordered the front bumper no stinger, rear bumper and sliders from MC on Monday. They had the best deal I could find and I really like thier style. Both bumpers were in stock and shipped this week but the sliders are a couple of weeks out.
Now I have to choose between the Mile Marker PE8000 or the Smittybilt XRC8 winch.

 

In the picture of the front bumper with stinger it looks to me like it has turn signal lights already mounted to it. Is this correct or do i put mine on there?

 

Not sure which picture you're talking about, but in all of the cases that I'm aware of, you transfer your own signal lamps over to the bumper... Or do the running light mod.

 

alright sounds good do you have a link to the running light mod

 

I didn't care about keeping front marker lights so all I did was cut the wires going to the turn signals and marker lights and spliced them on to the marker light wires. They blink fast because there's not enough draw on the flasher but it works good enough for me.

There are various iterations of this as well. It's been a while since I did mine but I did something or other with a 3/4 PVC coupler that held the bulb perfectly and some kind of grinding/gluing/screws to hold it all together. I remember another guy wrote something up with plastic bottle caps that he carved out a bulb sized hole in the center of and they fitted nicely over the back of the housing.
