    Ordered a DIY Moab 1.0 Front Bumper from CBI a couple days ago for a gen 1 Tacoma (2002) and just got notification it had shipped. I had expected a lil more time for prep and research but those guys are on the ball.

    I have zero welding skills but have acquired the help of a very good welder. I have a few questions i am curious about. His house is about a 3 hour drive and once i'm out there i will have zero internet and i will be about 1 hour away from any decent supplies so i want to make sure i have everything i need.

    Any experience with kit, issues ran into, additional fabrication to fit it, etc.?
    Does it come with any type of guide?
    Will i need any additional equipment to build and install?
    Is this a 12 beer or a 18 beer job?
    Is there any issues with wench install on this bumper that would prevent me from just doing later, or would it be easier to do it at the time of bumper install?

    Thanks in advance. I am sure he has everything needed but wanted to check in advance to prevent 2 hour trip to store.
