    Full disclosure - I am pressed for time for many reasons so let's get the "you can do it on your own" out of the way. I've already removed and reinstalled my factory bumper within 5 minutes.

    Having said that, my trail gear rear bumper is giving me quite the struggle (stops 2" short of the holes lining up)and so I'm looking to pay to get it installed. Any places in Central CA (Monterey Bay) that will knock the job out?

    I've measured the width of the rails on my new bumper and I believe the 1/4" difference is what's stopping it from sliding all the way back.

    Intake, exhaust, lift. Typical stuff.
    Bent frame or bumper is defective. Mine slid on just fine with no need for professional installation.

    Call trail gear? They might get you a new bumper if yours is defective.
