    What these guys have said, it's a little tight, but doable. I recommend some ratcheting wrenches if you don't have any. One of the best tool investments I've made.

    I had my bumper welded to a single piece. Pretty happy with how it came out.

    Did you just Order without powder coat or have to grind it off? I’m going to leave it to fate. I want this bumper or 1 other. If this isn’t offered in 1 piece by next spring when I’m ready to purchase it will have to be the runner up.

    14 weeks later I should be receiving my wings tomorrow. I hope I like the fit up and then I have to decide on whether I want to pay for install or do it myself.

    I really hope the tips of the wing line up with the wheel well/fender flares on both sides. I've seen a few posted on here that come up short. That will bug me a lot.

    Appreciate the positive reinforcement.

    Did you end up drilling and tapping that one hole he mentions in the video or just drilling?

    Check this video out, seems pretty simple. I have an older slimline bumper from 2018 where I will have to drill and tap (gonna install the stage 2's next week). Just measure multiple times before you cut. Use a little circ saw or a dremel, makes the job much easier. Luckily you have the trimming to hide some minor imperfections. Electrical tape really helps to make your line.

    Excuse me fam not sure if I missed it in the install video or if I'm a moron....but for the two holes we will have to drill (in the event we have an older slimline) what size drill bit do we use? I know for the existing hole with nut i will drill with 5/16 and tap to 3/8. Do i drill the others with 3/8?

    Thank you!
