You gonna add tubeing inside frame so it don't collapse when tightening them

 

see small tubes in this kit .....

 

Looks awesome

 

Actually hadn't even considered that Thanks man! I got some tubing laying around that should work.

 

Or you can out a plate on the inside of the frame and sandwitch the frame to distribute the weight

 

haha We'll see what I feel like doing when I get back out in the barn.

 

Thanks man

 

Nice, I have never seen or heard of adding tubing the the unibody, but I thought most bumpers mount with a plate on both sides of the frame rail

 

Yea I cut out a plate for the inside so I'm gonna try that route.

 

Nice. what are you gonna do with the old bumper?

 

Just sold it the other day

 

Painted Hopefully get it on today

And yes, I left the d-ring tabs at 3/8". The way the bumper is set up, I didn't think welding another plate or two onto the tabs would help much. Plus its not like I'm going to need to get yanked out much....right?

 

Installed Took a while to line everything up, but its on there and ain't comin' off Did a few pulls with the winch and took it for a drive; worked great and the bumper really stiffened up the front end. I could feel a noticeable firmness and responsiveness increase in the steering. I had taken some better pics with the camera but it decided not to load them tonight so we'll have to settle for a few junky cell pics for now.

 

Really nice looking bumper. Molded to the body and sleek. Makes me want to redo mine. Great Job!

 

Thanks! I'm real happy with how it came out
