mgrande's "7.62" build

you can take out those little steel boxes that come out to the sides at the bottom of the bumper.

 

The bolts secureing the bottom of the bumper uses them.

 

Awesome ride

 

it didn't come with replacement nuts? i just assumed that all front bumpers would come with a nut welded to a piece of plate so you could ditch those.

well, if they bother you, you can just cut those pieces up untill you are just left with the bottom-most part that contains the threads. or I can make you some frame inserts. it's just a big nut welded to a 2x2'' piece of plate, or however wide tat part of the frame tube is.

 

it came with a few bolts and nuts I couldn't find a use for. I used the stock nuts for the 3 on each side, then the supplied long ones to go through the frame on the bracket, and 2 supplied ones for the bottom where the things stick out. I just used the nut welded inside of them.

 

yesterday in addition to installing my new exhaust I stretch out my inner CV boots so they dont rub anymore.

 

Since my thread on the topic was locked here's an update.




I really cranked on it all day with a strap. In the end I was able to get a little more clearance but not enough. I'll be getting a heavier strap tomorrow.

 

Looks promising Mike

 

did you manage to bend the bumper that much or are the bolts just real loose?

 

I hope...

 

So I got the bumper where I want it now, time to go wheeling

 

My hand at photo editing

Did some wheeling with the Florida crew
















Cut my tire open pretty good.

 

bad ass truck dude!

 

Thanks man

 

Got this in the mail today. Not sure when ill get a chance to install it though.

 

I'm digging this build. How are you liking the timbrens? with your plate bumper, what coils did you get for the fronts?

 

I just have the standard springs that the kings come with. 600? The bumper is aluminum so i didnt get any sag when i put it on.

 

Got the rest of my ARB stuff in today. Maybe sunday if I have the time
