    I should have gotten that bumper instead of the Body Armor. I like mine, but I like that one better.

    More often than not, the rear bumpers I've seen, except high clearance rears, aren't perfectly even to the bedside under the tail lights. I've talked about this with many people, often. Some say it bothers them, others don't want to fool with such OCD.

    I have a Fab Fours rear, not the fugly one, the simple one. And it's not perfect, but I haven't adjusted it since my 10yr old cousin helped me mount it :D

    Called them today and was told that I'd have to go through All Pro to order the hitch. They wouldn't even accept the idea that anyone here told me about them....

    Can anyone post a picture of how the second piece for the front bumper bolts up? I can’t figure out how I would route the brackets to attach at the sway bar location. Picture for your time (;

    You have to loosen and remove the sway bar bushings. The bumper goes under the bushings, the second part of the bumper is sandwiched between the frame and bushings. They are labeled left and right for future reference lol. Put the heavy peice of the bumper on first.

    Yep. Do you know who you spoke to? I'd really like to go to the source rather than a 4 week lead time through AP.

    My sway bar is already disconnected. I just cant figure out it’s supposed to sit right where the 4 blots on the bottom bracket can attach, and so can the side ones that go to the bumper.

    Do you by chance have pictures of where the second piece mounts to on the bottom? That’s what I’m having trouble with.

    Where your swaybar mounts or where it use to mount
    When you put the bottom on its the only thing it lines up with.

    The metal bar on the bottom is what is causing me not to be able to get the bottom piece on. The width of the metal piece is bigger than the width of the bumper piece, so it can’t sit inside of it. Idk Looks simple but not workin out for me
