    hey tw!

    I'm going to start this off with a disclaimer:

    I'm about as mechanically inept as an infant. Whoooo, now that I got that off my chest..

    I have a pelfreybilt hybrid bumper sitting in my garage. After 4 months it decided to show up. Got it a week and a half ago.

    I was hoping some nice soul would help install it for/with me(as stated above, I would try my damndest to help as much as I could) unfortunately I don't have wrenches or anything (I know, what's my problem?)

    Been calling shops around the bay and if I paid one of those shops, then I wouldn't be able to pay next months mortgage(only half kidding)

    But I work away from home, so Friday afternoons (3 pm-on) and Saturday's are the only days I can do this.

    Perhaps someone with required tools could help a fellow taco owner out? I'll supply my little knowledge, some food of your choice, and some of the finest brewskis a man could ask for :cheers:

    Sorry for the wall of text, I get carried away sometimes.

    -Matt

    Honest question. Why do you have a steel bumper if you don't wheel? I only ask because you would have to be a complete fool to wheel without every wrench you could possibly need to take your truck apart.

    Edit: I'm just salty as hell wishing I could afford a pelfreybilt :(

    I don't rock crawl because I'm only at 2.5. But I wheel some spots when I have time. I wanted a different look for my front end, which is why I bought a bumper. Would have went aluminum if I could have but was a little out of my price range. I should have more tools, but it's just something I don't have, unfortunately.

    Maybe if you didn't have every tool possible to take your truck apart you could afford a Pelfreybilt.

    Meanwhile I'm stuck in Portland where the sidewalk is always wet :confused: I'll be back soon, really missing my rig/the sliders coming around January. I didn't even get to enjoy the grille I bought from @stlntaco for more than 12 hours :( Anyway, would love to help with the bumper if I were currently closer!
