hey swapped89... did you have to modify the bumper any to get it to work because of you bodylift? or did you simply just do mod the brackets for added strength? cuz i was on the TG forum today and they told me i would have to do alot of fab work to make it fit with a body lift

and minzer that vid in your signature is awesomeeee!!!!

The bumper fits on the frame so a "body lift" is irrelevant with the bumper fitting. What might not "fit" is the gap that a body lift will created between the bumper horizontals and the body panels.

I carry TG bumper but I also carry some not built off of their winch bumper mount plate that can be built to accomodate body lifts. I have a 1" body lift on both my 85s, just make the bumper sit up 1" taller so it matches the lines of the body. You have to do it when you build the bumper...hard to do after the fact.

thanks yoder, that was a fun day. i felt very proud to drive a toyota that day... both cherokees broke an axle and another broke down somehow, silly jeeps.

swapped89

i think i sent you a PM.

swapped89

I am also a pointed stinger fan. after puttin this bumper on i felt like just taken cars or anything in my way down with it. You will not be dissapointed

yoder519

Anyone looking to buy a bumper, i say buy the trail gear. its one of the best things ive ever bought for my truck even tho i paid 500( shipping to alaska is a b$$$h) the thing is soo posty and sexy.

yoder519

hey codyota.. post some pics of your truck up cuz me and you are runnin pretty much the same lift and tire size and i would like to see what that bumper looks like on yours. if you dont know how make an account on photobucket tehn copy teh IMG code and post it on here... thank ye!!!

kinzer

HELL YA!!!

in short my bumper came today when i was at work, to say the least i was a little excited to see the beauty sitting at my door steps.

sorry bout pic quality, it was dark and taken by my phone.

kinzer

hey swapped89, can you possibly post pics of how you braced the bumper by the winch plate? id love to reinforce it a little.

kinzer

yea that would def reinforce it, i will definatly buy one down the road but for now im good, thanks tho really good idea.

wow, thats funny. i already found those threads and decded to do that... i really like the idea of corner blinkers and it doesnt look that hard. actually it would be simpler cause i would be just moving the blinkers up.

kinzer

well to be honest i got a little anxious and just put the bumper on, however i still have to weld light tabs on and line-x it, but it was killing me to see it just sitting there in the garage. so heres some pics like i promised


before (minus the lights)


pulling it off


this is actually the first time the bumpers been off


had some stuff hanging down i had to get rid of


spare parts dont worry bout that


after i cut out the plastic and metal brackets


were just gonna call this hole the battery cooler vent. aight?


mounting up the tg


a little more mounting


and there it is....






however i was not happy that the side bar didn't go all the way to the fender, im thinking about extending it to cover up the mess behind it


but overall im pretty happy with it

Thinking of getting this bumper, it looks so sick man! I'm jealous! I have a 2" lift but still rocking 31's, wondering if it would still look substantial, pretty iffy about upgrading tire sizes.

yoder519

yea im definately gettin one now. that looks saaaweeetaaahhh

4banginRunner

I'm sold!
Now I just need some more cash haha

Looks great on your truck btw!

kinzer

thanks guys, i went out and crawled up a snow pile and took pics ill post them later tonight. and ill def post pics when its all done line-x'd and the KC slim's mounted. ill also put up a tutorial of how i put my blinkers up in the running lights, do you think i should start a new thread for that though?
