    Lol I'm planning on putting mine on tonight. I have to elongate two of the bottom holes though.. Either the end of my frame is off by 1/8" or the bumper is.. Who knows.

    Hmmm. Hopefully mine isn't off haha. I never test fitted it. Not too worried about it though.

    I may still stop by the meet for a beer. If I'm not out camping or on the boat.

    My guess is my frame just moved a hair when I cut out the front crossmember. It shouldn't be too hard to fix.

    Haha I will! I need to find an angle grinder to chop off that factory steel bar from the old bumper. Then it's on. Oh, also need to find two people to help me install it haha. We're having a TW mod day next Saturday but I don't want to wait that long if I don't have to.

    I put mine on myself. I need to chase a couple of the threads on the nuts on the frame, but I have 4.5/6 of the bolts in so it's not going anywhere.

    How the eff did you manage that? I can't barely lift mine off the ground alone. Your hybrid must be much lighter.

    Hey Matt, did the three bolts for the skid plate line up alright? Mine look like they'll line up but I think the threads are different.

    Mines about 75lbs and I set it on a blue Rubbermaid tote and put the lower 4 bolts in and then lifted it to do the side bolts.

    And the middle of my skid is slightly dented so my middle bolt didn't line up perfectly, but the two side ones did just fine and the middle one would have had my skid been the right shape haha

    Hmm. I don't think I have anything stout enough to handle this thing being set on it lol. Either way I've got two coworkers working on one of their 4runners Saturday and I think they'll give me a hand with it.
