got my allpro bumper today please help

hey i got my allpro bumper today and i have a question how exactly do i get the metal piece off the long one i guess its the factory bumper i took off the two bolts underneath each one but it wont come off do i need to cut this off or am i doing sumthing wrong here look at the pics please help


this is what i cant get off bolts already removed

 

this might help

the green hoop shows you where to go but its mounted to the frame at the base so use and extension

 

thank you very much i was close to just cutting that thing off lol

 

no worries dont forget to post some pics

 

Also. If they have not fixed the problem with the fitment here, you might have to trim a little bit to get it to fit properly.
I have the 1st gen tube bumper and not the baja like yours but just check the fitment real well. Install all the bolts loosely before you tighten them up.
I had to trim 1/2-3/4 of an inch in the location shown and I believe tacomorroto had to do the same.


I think you will also have to remove your hook or tow loop. And niether may bolt back up in the same spot. Hence the shackles on mine.

 

I had to trim the same spot as mentioned above.

 

well i guess allpro made my bumper just about 1/4 to 1/8 of an inch to narrow and i cant for the life of get it inbetween the frame rail dang it should i grind it just a bit

 

its supposed to fit tight.. anyone around you to lend an extra hand?

 

x2 my trail gear bumper was a PITA a second set of hands make a world of difference

 

yeah mcjosh was a big help when i put mine on.. i still couldnt get one side of the bolts to line up and now its way out of alignment lol

 

It's still too tight about 1/4 off what should I do

 

Beat the shit out of the bumper and make it fit.
Is there anyway you can get a hi-lift jack inbetween the 2 mounting brackets and spread them ever so slightly?

 

Are your mounting brackets painted? If so you may have to take the paint down to primer then mount it. My tg bumper took alot of persuading to fit. so keep trying before taking it down

 

its done gentlemen thank you very much for all ur help 6 pack on me here are the pics need to paint it later its just got sum spotty primer on it for now used a sledge hammer to persuade it into place and my two brothers let me know what you think

 

my grill needs to go who sells better looking ones

 

looks good as for the grille id paint it or satoshi it. street scenes or autoanything

 

looks good not a fan of the baja headlight hoops but good none the less

 

x2. I like the AP bumper for many reasons (almost bought one), but DANG the Baja hoops are stupid looking. The only time they seem to look appropriate is on a fully decked out LT desert truck, and even then it's too much IMO.

Nice job either way.
