    Hey Eric, do you have any pics of how you welded on your light tabs for Dually D2's by any chance. I'm waiting until I get my lights to weld them on, but I'd like to get an idea if possible. Thanks!

    Parts were wrapped up Friday, it's shipping Monday morning. You should have received a tracking number via email when I printed the label on Friday. If you didn't receive it, I can PM it to you Chris.

    I don't believe I have any. They'll just need to be welded on perfectly centered on the light recess.

    You wouldn't happen to have an idea as to when mine will ship out do you? I'm just trying to get an idea if I will get it around my week off. Thanks bud, can't wait to work on it!

    Should be some time this week. To my knowledge we cut all the Diy bumpers and they're either waiting to be packaged or a few might still be at forming but those should be done at forming Monday.

    Looks amazing. Did you attempt to blend the welds at all? I noticed they aren't completely smooth


    On the other hand, I just got my tracking number!!!

    2 boxes of parts arrived on Saturday. There was a nice hole about the size of a base ball on one end. Looks like FedEx didn't take good care of the boxes. I didn't have time to pull everything out and take inventory on the parts so I will check on Monday.

    Mine had holes in the box for the center section. I guess my bolts fell out because mine didn't come with any...

    Well I finally got it all opened up tonight. Looks like, according to the image on a previous page, that all the pieces and parts are accounted for! Damn thing on the shop floor looks like a jigsaw puzzle! I am thinking I may have taken a bite that I will have a hard time chewing. I'll probably be a lot slower than everyone else doing this. I just wish I had some scrap steel this thickness to do a couple of practice runs on so that I can get my MIG set right.

    Have been reading up on cutting the frame horns on 98-00. Looks like I have to cut off the forward skidplate mount/x-member. Is there something on the bumper I can bolt the skid to (allpro's comes with something)? Or am I going to have to come up with my own mount?
