BGR's build thread......

Nope no flopping.

 

Don't know if your bumper braces back to the frame on the sides. Mine does so had a metal tab welded to that brace to hold the fender out. Put some rubber hose on the end of it to keep from getting any noise and then adjusted the tab so it applied pressure to the fender. They do not move at all now.

 

thanks
yea my bumper has braces back to the frame.....
i am going to leave the little tab there to use as a brace "somewehere to rivet to...
any of you have billys "brute force" frame reinforcements in the front for winching .....and have remote resi shocks....
how did you guyz mount your resis"s

 

I think it is a good idea to leave the tab for such a thing. I would just be concerned with hard mounting a bracket to the frame. IMO the flex and twisting off road might cause you to dent the fender. Maybe if you can it back to the bed where is supported stock it should be the same as stock. Just a thought. I am curious to see what you do.

 

Stop asking so many questions an just start cutting j/k

 

this.....

 

yea i think i am def going with the tab idea...then from there to where i brace it is anyone's guess.
but i will take some pics

yea well i just took of the front bumper yesterday so now if i can find someone to help lift this thing onto the saw horses i can paint it today so i can install soon.....
but i am doing some more body work and i think i am going to remove all the bumpers / hitch and cut the bedsides today to get it ready...
then to mount the led lights on the front bumper..."stay tuned for that need some advise on where to mount them." will be posting pics of options i have soon....

 

then i need to make a bed cargo holder one day....
after i replace the cv's
weld in tc cam gussets
new ball joints
and on and on and on
oh and i need a nut welded to my front diff...couldn't get that stupid sucker out the other day.......and i put it back loose to last time i changed the fluid....wtf...stupid hex heads....
then oon the the rock lights and bed ligghts and mabye an radio install in the bed

 

I had to do the same thing, I broke three sockets before saying F it and welded a bolt to the inside of the hex key. I just purchased a new one from the Stealer pretty cheap.

 

Truck is looking good, really liking that bumper.

 

Advice on this: Run a bead of RTV down the door molding before you put it on. The adhesive that comes with the edge trim doesn't hold up to use, accumulates dirt, and will fall off later. The RTV will essentially glue it in place and also adds extra sealing to keep weather out, which you're gonna need up north.

 

X2 mine was flapping in about 3 days after the install.

 

Front bumper does look good.

Switches are too cool.not bad for a plumber I'm one also.

 

Sooo, what all did you need to order for them there switches? I can fab, but don't spark very well....lol

 

i ordered the 6 switches and a 6 gang blank switch plate....

 

this is sweet. I havent seen any other bumper that comes with something like that. I just have a regular washer and nut in there.. but that has to add some strength.

 

Thats about fucked up
