    Hey everyone
    Looking at doing a cbi hybrid bumper this summer. Any ideas on who i could get to install, and maybe what a price range would be? This is well beyond my ability, and i want it to look good .

    Looking at this one, looks sick! Screenshot_20200405-174900_Samsung Internet.jpg

    10x easier than you think. I can help. A friend and I took his CBI off and put it back on. The only time consuming and super stressful part is the cutting of the of the two front 1/4 panels. I'm not helping with that. MULE is a good place get this sort of thing done. You have to buy the bumper through them though.

    For what it's worth... I've seen more fucked up bumper cuts coming from professional shops, than I've seen from individuals doing their own work. Remember, the person at the shop is a human and they don't care about your truck as much as you do.

    My recommendation would be to recruit help from TW, if you're not confident doing it on your own. Take your time, don't rush, set aside more than a day, in case things don't go smoothly.

    Also... that bumper is a thing of beauty. @WrecklessAbandon ... You could "test" fit it on your truck first.

    Yeah, installation shops dont give a fuck about the cuts. Plus a lot of them use sawzalls. Measure 20x times and cut once. Remember, you can always cut more but you can't put it back. You want at least 1/4" of space between the bumper and the bumper corner or it'll rub. My paint wore off since I was at 1/8t". It's aluminum so it at least did doesn't rust.

    Not sure if you’re nearby (Central Oregon) but my buddy owns fit garage and he’s cut for both my bumpers and did a great job.
