Re: Custom bumpers?

i didn't do anything to the front yet.i'm still thinking that one over.on the rear,i only have the two outside brackets.no inner's.it's plenty strong enough.unless you plan on stepping up on it all the time or something..so,i just slotted,elongated,whatever you wanna call it,the two frontward mounting holes in the bracket itself.this allow's you to slide it forward as much as you like,although you are limited on how close you can slot till you run out of bracket material.it's a real simple no cost mod.i don't really have a measurment of how much it slid in.maybe 3/4's to an 1 inch? it's been awhile.the only real downside is your tailgate will not open all the way with this mod.but i just haul ass and air.and with it not being a d.d it isn't a big deal to me.but,if you plan on using your tailgate you may wanna do something different.
