    na its really easy.. my gf could do it alone. i'll elaborate on my method. first take the lower center section and bolt it on the truck. if you have a winch then mount the winch to the bumper. then bolt on the top center section and leave bolts slightly loose. then bolt on each of the two sides and then tighten down all bolts. you never have to lift anything all that heavy.... worked for me and several others i have explained this method to...

    We had an issue getting bolt holes to line up. We had to have everything loose on the ground to try to get as many bolts in as possible then slowly tighten stuff up to try to get a few more bolts in.

    only bolts that REALLY didnt line up on mine were for the hoop.... but being as though their bumper really isnt that strong anyways i managed to flex it enough to make them line up.

    dont feel bad though luni... i havnt been really impressed with mine either. the fit to the truck was horrible, now after a few winches its even worse. it will be comming off soon though for something that can actually stand to be wheeled. not to mention about half the powdercoat has already fallen off.

    Mine was on for about 2 months before I was making plans to replace it with an ARB. Then I totaled the truck so meh. Now that I've seen the custom fab side of the house I'm not going back to mass produced hope-it-will-fit garbage.

    All I want it some extra tubing. You're getting a trail rig. We're on totally different levels. He's that kid on the playground my parents told me not to talk to. Good thing I have to wife to keep me in check.

    If the rest of your rig is any indication I think that bumper will come out pretty badass.
