the problem isnt the bolts, its the thin sheetmetal 'frame' the nuts are pressed into. they will distort the unibody rail when enough pressure is applied.

this is a good illustration of what not to do

it can but will not be easy for you. i suggest a 3rd hand to start the bolts while you hold it. or con your helper into holding the bumper lol. if you had tall enough jack stands you could do it yourself a bit easier

Also can the winch be installed after the bumper is mounted?

You can put them on by your self but more hands is away better, winch can be out on after the bumper is installed.

Chris,
So, I got my bumper installed. Now I'd like to get some rock rails? Can I get an order in for those?

Decided to test out my new cameras' ability to take pictures at night. Focused the pictures on the bumper so they would be useful. Not too shabby for a camera that claims no ability to take nighttime pictures.

If the pictures are too large, I sincerely apologize. As stated above, I am testing out a new camera, so I'm not sure how it takes pictures.

That's because my mom ran over my stock one when I took it off to install my hitch so I need a nw rear bumper, figured I better get a good rear bumper while I'm at it.

I wouldn't mind having one of these bumpers... My only thing is that I'd wanted it properly chromed as I have stock chrome bumpers and I personally like the look. However, I realize that even if chroming it were a possibility, it would raise the price quite significantly...
