Yeah right. That's not your truck, that's a little Mazda truck. You probably found those pics online.

You haven't installed them on the truck yet? What's the delay?

When you are installing the bumper, you might want to go ahead and address the usual rub points before you install the bumper. It's much easier before than after. Beericus and I both had a rub issue with the fenders. I circled the points in the following picture. Beer cut his. I managed to get some duckbill vise-grips onto mine (with bumper installed) and bend them away from the bumper. Pay attention while you are installing and see if it might be an issue for your bumper as well. Remember how much the bumper moves when the truck flexes.



I also had a problem with the center bumper support. It was great to have when installing the bumper cause it helped to hold the bumper in place, but later the screws rubbed through the coating and made awful noises. I removed the whole center brace and replaced it with a piece of angled aluminum painted black and drill with holes in the same places. I could have just left it out but figured it might be needed to help support the hood release.

Good thinking Tox, I hope Josh reads this before the install.

Tox, thanks for the heads up!! Although I didn't see this before my install. I ended up cutting the center piece and the two other angle pieces that are under the lights. I'm really close to my fenders on the front bumpers and the rear. The truck sounds more rigid when going over bumps.
