    Does anyone know the bolt sizes for the bumper mounts? I need the two for the side and one for the center. As well as the size for the tow hooks?

    I'm assuming my 98 is the same as your 97

    These two are 14mm

    And the two on the sides (the nuts with rubber grommets/washers on them) were 10mm, I believe

    Used it on some access roads on the property, so I could snap these pics. Spent a couple hours looking at what I thought was only a couple cows and calves laying in the field. Finally got myself caught and all these buggers popped out of the field and woods.

    I put my camburg UCAs and coilovers on the truck today. Took my time and knocked it all out in about 3.5 hours. I still need to adjust the preload as the front is sitting a bit high and get it aligned but it seems to ride really nice now. Now to do something about the killed rear springs...

    Saturday:
    Sprayed 2 of my stockies. Sanded, primed, painted with Rusto HP Enamel. Turn out like [​IMG] and pissed me off because I didn't know what went wrong :annoyed: I didn't go heavy in any spots but the finish turned our rough and powdery like the Rusto bedliner.

    Sunday:
    Sprayed the other 2 stockies. Sanded, NO primer, painted with Rusto HP Enamel. 3-4 light coats and walla :woot: :D :yay:

    This picture shows the difference of the two. The two on the right have been sanded down a little in this pic. I need to sand it all the way down to the bare wheel again before hitting it with the enamel :D

    i honestly wish mine turned out better, i was intoxicated when doing my fiberglass work and never had done it before.. doing it indoors wasnt smart either with all the fumes. i bet if i made another, it would turn out pretty good, but it costed ~170$ to make. gf dropped a can of primer and I lost 2 things of sand paper some how, so it netted me a bit more than i wanted. :(

    edit/


    I made it.

    I took this photo and made it as big as possible on a 8.5x11 paper, stupid store wanted 8 bucks for anything bigger. but this size worked great. just get something that is super sharp, tape it down and cut it out!
