BAMF High Clearance rear bumper "Modular DUAL swing out"

Getting more progress. Tire is bolted on.



my trailer harness needs quite a bit of length to make it. Maybe a result of the repair from the accident?

 

Yeah that is short! It looks like it was repaired. You should be just shy if it without stripping the loom off.

 

Installed:





Arrived on the 26th (day after my birthday) and got it installed this week. Love the bumper, can't wait till deer season where I'll be living on the truck for a week.

The tire contacts the upright (angled carrier), but I like the carrier where it's at so I'll machine a spacer to move either the wheel or the carrier to clear the upright. I'll probably also remove the left upright to save weight and reinstall as needed since this is my daily driver and I have a 45 mile daily commute.

@JLee - ETA on the license plate holder?

 

Looks good. Nice username. Between that and your machining reference.. what software and machines?

 

Software - GibbsCAM, NCL, SolidCAM, Mastercam. 21 years using GibbsCAM, own my seat. SolidWorks on the CAD side.

Machines - Hitachi Seiki, Mori, Fadal, Milltronics, Okuma Eurotech, Mazak, Haas, Makino, Yama Seiki. 3-5 axis vertical & horizontal, MTM/millturn.

A little over 35 years in manufacturing at this point, including 10 years as a shop owner. I'll be calling it quits in about 5 years.

 

I dont want to dirty up this thread with boring Machining shit so I'll keep it short. I may send you a PM sometime. I'd love to start a thread for the CNC guys. I'm still fairly new on the Programming side (Mastercam).. and Machining in general really in the grand scheme of things. Been in Manufacturing and using CAD (Solidworks/Fusion 360) for over 8 years.. and grew up around it. I got the Machining itch and stuck with it.. now Programming too. Work for a small private shop where each of us do it all start to finish. love it.

 

Does anyone have a video of the install of this bumper?

I have the PDF install instructions from the web site, but I’d like to see a video of there is one.

 

Mine looks that short also. I'm hoping when I take off all the loom it'll reach the plug

 

2 quick questions…

Do I just cut the wheel liner, level where I cut the fender?

The aftermarket square cube lights that go in the bumper; when I install thii ohms, will I be drilling into the bumper?

 

I just cut my fender liner so it was just a bit higher than the bumper.

 

Install the bumper then trim liner wherever you want it to sit.

 

I’m gonna have to take all the loom off. I tried removing tape and tugging a little. Didnt seem to want to budge at all.

 

Let me know how it goes...I'm not looking forward to it...lol

 

Will do. It’s low on the priority list, I havnt towed anything in a while. Higher on that list is figuring out attaching a 1up to the swing out.

 

How are people mounting their license plate? & any update on the camera relocate, @JLee? Thank you.

 

I used the bully license flip up plate holder.

They have it at Amazon but it shipped super quick from summit.

 

Zip ties on my plate. I believe the Bully Flip is supposed to come with our bumpers but they are out of stock everywhere. I'm going to make my own flip up holder.

 

Velcro

 

Here's my foo plate over my CA plate.

 

For a rear camera relocation from your existing rear camera. This attaches to your license plate. Found a plug and play rear camera relocation that attaches to your license plate. It connects just below rear bumper, passenger side. Here's the link on Amazon. It's for 2nd-3rd gen 10-19'..

Hope this helps!
