    @SouthernStyleOffRoad Pretty sure I'm about to order a full plate with the BD 20". Could you ball park what actual lead times are for orders coming in right now?

    Thanks!

    The full plate bumper lead times are currently 14+ weeks. We are working on getting these down. If you'd talk to us before placing your order you can always email us at info@southernstyleoffroad.com

    Bumping this tread to say thanks to Hodakaguy for a great How To. Installed my bumper by myself one evening last week in just over three hours (no winch to install for me, though).

    Quick question.
    1. Going back to a question someone else asked. What tape cut line did people use?
    2. Can you explain the way to place the tape along the side of the bumper cut line as it turns down from the straight across cut line?
    3. Did everyone use a torque wrench to bolt down the bumper or just "tight"

    Thanks!

    I pretty much followed the directions in the 1st post for the cut line. Turned out really well. Sso instructions have the original tape line and new line shown in this thread. I did not use torque wrench to tighten but it's a good idea. :hattip:

    Ditto. The OP shows the left side tape line pretty well. His cut looks just a little curved though. I think you want straight cuts. For the right side you have to do sort of a mirror image calculation. I took my laptop to the shop for frequent checks of his photos. You absolutely want to use his spacing for the top section cut line for no gaps.

    I didn't have the torque figures and was too lazy to look them up, so I just cranked her down hard as I could with a good 1/2" drive ratchet.

    You can always open the hood and reach down if you don't have the universal access holes.
