yeah, by the time I pulled the tools out, swapped each wheel, then stripped the stud. Put tools away, drove to the dealership, got lunch, repaired and finished install of wheels. Damn, talk about feeling like an idiot. Oh well. Wheels studs are cheap $4.52 each at the stealer, which thankfully was open until 4pm on Saturday

PICS with paint

Alright, finally got it back from the dealer. I hate them. Really I do. Paint is done. All I have left is to paint the hitch with some black paint.

I thought you were gonna paint it red to match? I guess I missed where you changed your mind.

I still might, but it is too much $$$ now. The bumper cost about $200 painted and that included smoothing it out.

I am tired of being without my ride.

Looks very sharp, I've had something like that in mind, just never got around to it.
My only concern is that those bolts might sheer off in a rear ender and push the bumper in, causing a lot of damage.
I would add some plates welded flat against the mounting bracket, which prevent the mounting bracket from sliding further into the frame rails.
