Bumper stuff arrived



I could just put the mounting plate on and have a huge upgrade over stock.

Consider it a base for building a custom bumper.  3/16" formed to provide mounts to stock locations, winch mount, then you dress it however you like - rect tube, round tube, stinger, whatever.

Top piece is mounting plate for front bumper. Mounting holes for various frame and winch plates. Slots for clevis.

Two bags are tire carrier HW.

Left two right,
Receiver 2"
Rear clevis
Trailer chain tabs
Not sure on long piece with two holes
Bumper to frame mounting HW
Bag o' bolts.

AtoZ site has decent pics. Will be studying to make sure we get it right.

Ah. Didn't notice that.

This should be fun.

I would strongly recommend something like this rear support brace.  The rear crossmember isn't particularly strong.

Based on the mess I'm in with the front bumper bolts we are a ways from caring about the back bumper.

Apparently my tools lack the … testicular fortitude … to remove the front bumper bolts. I keep popping the catch on the ratchet. Doesn't help that the stupid torx piece is 3/8 and I don't have a 3/8 to 1/2 adapter. I did manage to get the 4 upper bolts to the point that I know they will come out. Two lower … meh.


Every. Single. One. Of. The. Fender. Bolts. Spins. SoaB. Every one of them. My next move involves a sawsall. Or a car crusher.


I'm open to suggestions.

I thought that might be the right way to go. My torx are 3/8, impact is 1/2. I'm hoping TSC or Lowes will have the needed 1/2 impact torx.


I don't even want to think about the back …
