I finally received my bumper today and got it installed. It took me about 5 hours due to the missing three bolts for the mounting brackets. I drilled a hole on each bracket and went to the dealer to buy 4 M8 x 1.25 x 20 bolts so I ended up with eight bolts on each bracket mounted to the truck frame. Overall, I am happy with the bumper and now I need to buy some SAW'S to raise the front a little bit. I also notice that the driver side wings stick out 1/4" farther than the passenger side. I mounted and unmounted the bumper three times and each time I hammered the brackets a little bit to the passenger side to compensate. So far they are almost even now. Thanks to Mike for the group buy on this nice bumper. Following are some pics:

Looks good. Three questions:

1. Why TJM over ARB?
2. How much did it cost?
3. How much does it weigh?

 

1. I dont want any cutting or modification. TJM is bolt-on.
2. $720 including shipping
3. about 80-90 lbs.

Thanks for the compliment.

Looks great! How long did the install take you?

 

thats lookin very nice man!..very nice indeed

 

Thanks. Actual installation was about 30 minutes. But, since I want it to be aligned perfectly, it took me an additional 45 minutes. I took my sweet time too since I wasn't in a hurry. Now, I have to convince the wife to buy the SAWS and OME. BTW, where are you located in Florida? I live in Jacksonville.
