Project 7.3

[Bduck]

I was watching a movie one evening, since it was the holidays, I just happen to have my laptop. For a longtime always wanted to install a new front bumper on my truck but everything was on the expensive side of $2G+. I don't do a whole lot of looking at eBay but this time I did, found a bumper that caught my eye. Showed it to my wife & to my surprise she said go for it. It was well within the budget of temptation at about $850. Triggered pulled and within 4days delivery made. Opened box and found it was well packed, a 3-section bumper with each piece wrapped individually with a heavy bubble wrap & packed in a separate thick mill plastic bag. Next, I spent a good day bolting together the 3-piece bumper. At the seams where the 2 wings attached to the main section, I put a bead of sealant to keep out moisture & dirt from migrating in. Over the outside of the seam a bracket was supplied to bolt over the seam to hide seam. After installing bracket, took more sealant around both side edges of bracket.

The old bumper was an easy removal with 6 bolts accessible from front. Had it removed in 2 minutes. The original OEM tow hooks had to be removed, easy peasy. New install brackets came with bumper.
