Superbads Boring Build and not Enough Exploring

Now to just find out if theres any instructions. Nothing in any of the boxes. Waiting on a reply from CBI. I'm ready to start

 

WOOOOTTTT hell yea man!!! Can't wait to see it installed!

 

​

 

1. Remove scraps of old bumper.
2. Cut stuff.
3. Install new bumper.
4.

 

Thanks, should be simple now.

 

Yarp, pretty much that.

 

The install has been started. the truck is always a little nerve racking before you start but once started its quite enjoyable. No going back now!


I may need to reroute my OBW it seems kinda low but I wont know until its time to install the new bumper. Its hot in the sun and I need to run to the store for more cutting wheels to clean up the cut. I'll wait a few hours to hopefully get back into the shade so its not so freakin hot. I'l mount the bumper either tonight or in the morning.

 

​

 

ARE YOU DONE YET?

 

Tried mounting an hour or so ago and I didnt cut enough. bolts didnt line up before hitting the bedside. Just finished trimming some more off and need to grind it smooth and try and fit the bumper again. It WILL be installed today! I have to drive it to work tomorrow.

 

Bumpers are just for aesthetics

 

If it all goes wrong and I cant mount it today I'll just take some packing tape and tape my license plate to my tailgate. It will be very custom.

 

Damn its hot in the sun. Found out why the bumper wasnt going on earlier and probably didnt need to trim anymore today like I did... Bumper is now in place with all bolts in just not tightened down. Got too hot in the sun and needed to cool off for a bit. I doubt I'll get the swing out on today but that can happen anytime this week. All I'm going to worry about for the rest of the day is tightening it down and getting my plate on the truck. I'lll try and decide how I'm going to wire in the plate light also, there are a few ways I can do it.

 

This is all i'm taking until I get the swing out on later this week.

I also need to figure out/find an extension for my trailer harness. It doesnt reach the new location...

 

Nice build man!

 

Thanks! Its coming along but theres still so much I want to do once funds are available. I've been spending too much and should slow down...(not likely for a while.)

 

Sweet truck dude! I'm slowly building mine up, i want to do more wheeling so I need to get on that level!

 

Thanks. I started wheeling with no experience completely stock. I was running medium level trails with no armor or mods. Sliders were my first mod to give me piece of mind from damaging my rocker panels. Now I am hitting harder trails and making some silly mistakes that are setting me back from poor decisions causing body damage. I currently need a new tailgate, fender flares and probably a front bumper. These trucks are very capable with nothing and learning what mods would suit me to improve the performance, capability and comfort(both on trails and at camp).
