The Lair

Go B Team! We are bench players & damn proud of it! We’re #2 We’re #2!

 

NinjaMode........engaged!

 

Did this replace the Taco?

 

Owwwwww...pretty.....

 

Shiny AND stronger than stock It's a win win.

 

Speking of, parts guru, what size bolts do I need to grab for the bumper install??

 

Nope, this is the new daily driver.

 

Unfortunately it seems to be the only type out there for the 18

 

In for the red grill mod!

 

None, you use stock hardware! You have to remove the aluminum crash bar, which is help on with 3 nuts on each side. You use those to mount the bumper. It's only 6 bolts that hold it on.

 

I was going to ask if those were actually studs sticking out

 

Yeah the studs are attached to the truck. When I installed my first plate bumper, I did it in a parking lot in about 40 minutes. It's really really easy. Adding the winch will obviously make it take longer though.

 

They are pressed studs. Don't overtorque.

 

THE HOOD!!!! CUT OFF THE HOOD!

 

Guess I will leave the impact on the bench.

 

Nice! My hunt continues...I thought I found a wagon last night for $2495, but the ac didnt work. And I didnt want to dump nearly half of the purchase price of the car into it to replace the ac components...

I wish I had the cash to buy a new one!

 

You can impact, just don't torque the nuts with it.

 

I impact the fuck outta mine, and with the big boy! You can hear a difference in ugga duggas once it gets tight. The ugga duggas are a lot faster and more frequent once tight, and then I let off the trigger. Just don't sit there wailing on it and you'll be alright.

 

Does it really need to be lifted?

If so, then get Kings.
