    Finished installing bumper today. May upload pics later. Took me probably 3-4 hours. Would have been faster but I had to waller out four or five holes that didn't line up right :rolleyes: Also, the thing is HEAVY. Definitely need at least 2 people to lift the bumper onto the truck. Anyways, looks great, happy with it now that I've got it installed!

    Lame stock backyard flexing pic. It actually took 3 guys to put the thing on. 2 lifting and one laying underneath telling us which direction to move it. Is it just me or does it look like the gap on the passenger side is bigger? Maybe I should tighten that down a little more...

    x2 from what I've read, note no personal first hand experiance on a toyota, these have broken a few headlights from being to close and flexing up into them.

    Early in the install before I fixed the holes that didn't line up. All 3 skid plate bolts and one on the side, the thing could still hold my weight easily! W/out license plate, shackles (which are way more expensive than they should be at OSH). Don't know what I'm gonna do once I get a winch... gotta have the front tags in California! Anyhow, the only holes I had added are the fog light holes, the ones farthest to the outside. PIAA 5161s should be here in the next 2 weeks or so. Still looks a little high on the driver's side...

    looking good, man! i agree, though... a tad high on the driver's side. that full-wrap grill guard is beefy looking!

    they all have high lift slots unless requested to not have them

    Looking good man ^^^ PM me about the skid plate holes, you probably missed a step on the install for that part and i think i know why it didn't line up

    Update

    blackdawg - bumper will ship tuesday!

    nathandex and chase - your bumpers should be done by tuesday and will be dropped off at the sand blasters the same day and hopefully picked up wednesday if they get them done.

    will be starting 9, 10, and 11 on wednesday and am going to try to get them done by next week, the rest will follow shortly after.
