i got my gap fix at the rock shop 50 bones.

 

 

thanks for the links...i knew i had seen someone do something like that with their tjm. 6 bucks is much better than 50 when youre on a budget...meaning, i have no money.
here we go.....

i dont know if that one mount is used for a cb antenna mount, but it works fine for me. i know they sell a little bracket, but right now, the firestik fits in real nice.

and yes you can see the firestik coax in the last pic, i just wanted to get the pic in before i wired it all up. i hope to complete the lattice mod by monday, pics to follow with that.

 

have you adjusted the brackets all the way up??
You can close that gap more. I also know that Steve S and Roger Brown can modify the brackets for a 2"+ gap

Look sweet

 

how do i adjust the brackets all the way up?...

im off to home depot though to get this lattice trim.

 

The last TJM I installed was about two months ago. Once the brackets are hung and the bumper is loosely in place, there was enough space in the bolt slots to move it up and down.

 

The side wing is not level. You can also adjust the bumper up and down to make it look right


And have you installed the rubber gasket in between the bumper and wings?

 

Looks like he has a bodylift to me, that's a pretty big gap. I was able to make the adjustment slots a little bigger on mine. Here are some pics: http://community.webshots.com/photo/...57661283SOWwBn

haha i didnt know what those rubber things were for...i dont have any instructions.

just got back from home depot with some lattice trim, and ill be putting that on now.

hopefully i can get this thing looking real nice.

 

all better. pics to come later...digital camera batteries are charging.

 

Looks like you had shackle hangers in the front on the before pics. Are gonna move them out back?

 

i have one shackle hanger on the driver side. i just bolted it back on. i am still going to use the factory tow hook on the passenger side, i just need to go get 2 more bolts.

 

Finally got some pictures:





let me know what yall think of my lattice mod.

ill be adding 2 lights on the bumper this afternoon...im too lazy to put them on right now. also the factory tow hook will go back on once i get some bolts for it.

 

looks good. Hard to tell if you were able to adjust the bumper anymore.

Did you put the rubber gaskets in?

 

i couldnt figure out how to adjust the bumper, so i just left it.

yea i put those rubber gaskets in. they did help even out the wings, and it looked much cleaner after they were in.

 

the bolts on the brackets,loosen them up, push the bumper up as far as you can, then tighten them back up. looks good bro

 

o aight. i think ima just leave it as it is.

 

easy what lights are you going with?

 

well they guy i bought the bumper from sent some hella 500's....but both lens are cracked pretty badly. i could either get covers/new lens and spend the same amount of money as i would getting some lights at walmart....so im going with walmart lights. they actually have some decent ones. 6" round ones for 20 bucks with wiring and everything. theyre apc i think. im actually getting ready to go get them now.
