Colorado B.S. Thread

Cool, was gonna say I'm sure people would be up for fixing stuff if needed.

 

Ah but I am up before the sun and use my headlights then. So your argument is invalid.

 

Need to install new High Clearance bumper (pelfreybilt). Seems pretty straight forward but nervous cutting. Hoping someone on here that has done this already could lend me a helping hand. I always find there are things i wished i had done differently after an install. This is one that i cant affoard to Fu*& up. Maybe you could help me @teamhypoxia

 

I looooooved cutting my fenders and bedsides haha

 

Give @chenbro a beer and let him do it.

 

Appreciate that. I have to get my 60k done too. Wish I had my own shop with a two post lift. Someday haha

 

That's some bum luck, dude. Hope that heals quick and the winds turn in your favor!

I was amazed how once the cutting wheel made contact with the fender it was all #YOLO from there on out.

 

So does the cutting get better with the beer or worse after te beer.

 

It just gets easier. The "fuck it" instinct kicks in.

 

Thanks Davis

 

I'm not sure how much cutting actually happened. Davis gets drunk after a beer, then sits under his truck wondering why he made the poor decision to move from a 1st gen to a 2nd.

 

Getting new 35's put on. Someone should have just taken my wallet and kicked me in the balls.

 

The toyo A/T. Has a 50k mileage warranty. Should get me to my next vehicle lol.

 

They aren't bad tires, just not the best in the snow with such a hard compound... Did you get the Open Country?

 

Happy to help.

And by help I mean help you mark your cuts (possibly correctly), hand you one of the beers (which you purchased and brought over), lend you tools, offer you (bad?) advice, and laugh if and when you hurt yourself.

And maybe take a picture or two to use for making fun of you on these forums.

 

Yeah it was those or the BFG's. But my truck only has 24k on it and the rears are bald. Due to the previous owner but either way. 24 k is not that many miles so I stayed away.

 

How about anything you would have done differently? I have all the tools probably just overthinking it.

 

Trust me you should let Eric help



So we can make fun of you

 

The cut for the Pelfreybilt rear is fairly straightforward. Just take a few strips of tape and measure down from the top of the bed to the bottom of the tail light and mark that distance across the fender to make sure you're straight, and cut away.

Get some door edge trim to cover the edge after making the cut, maybe put a bead of silicone in it to keep moisture out and help it stay on.

Spray some penetrating oil like PB Blaster on the frame bolts holding the rear bumper and hitch a day or two before the install.

Bring an extra cutoff disc just in case.

Wear safety glasses. Or a face mask.

Have a good time
