    I agree, but it seems fairly straight forward. Just time consuming. I also don't know if I trust a shop to get the measurements right for this specific bumper since I doubt they have installed one before lol

    Maybe I'll let the wife drive it. Within a few weeks the bumper will probably fall off on its own. LOL. Then I can install C4 bumper.

    I just put that bumper on last year. Originally spray painted it, but it started chipping and it was rusting where the paint had chipped so I just got it powder coated. Beautiful bumper, and I've got the same light setup as you. I just bit the bullet and ordered the C4 HC Rear bumper. It's coming in beginning of April and I'm fkn stoked.

    I LOVE that Leitner bed rack. If I had that big a budget for a bedrack I absolutely would get one. For now I've got the KBVoodoo and desperately want something new.

    Also, get you some lights for that bumper!

    I did. Used a dremel to do the cutting of the bumper. I also have the frame support brackets but I haven't installed them because I have to cut some holes through my CO reservoir mount brackets to make it work. The cut it super uneven....but whatever.

    Beach is Pismo/Oceano Dunes SRVA

    Well done. Think I'll be installing mine myself as well. The CO reservoir brackets will go on the outside of the bumper support brackets right?

    No, it would go frame -> reservoir brackets -> frame support bracket.

    You can't stack anything outside of the frame support bracket because of the outward facing 90 degree bends in the steel on the top and bottom.

    Also, I accidentally cut into my reservoirs when I was cutting away the fender liner. Whoopsies.
