Looks real nice! How long did it take you to fab it up?
|
that looks FANTASTIC!
|
it looks good, have you tried putting the bumper back on?
|
Thank you guys!
It took a while to complete because of the 30 min after work I had before all the specialty shops closed. But fabbing up the brackets took a day. Passenger side pipe routing and driver side pipe routing took a day each. Planning took a day, and final revisions took a day. So, about a week. It was about 2 weeks for install though ...and I am still waiting for parts to be delivered. Bumper won't fit directly. I could have moved the bottom of the IC back some but then I would be hitting the bracket, or if the bracket wasn't there the bumper reinforcement mounting face. The lower half of the opening will loose up to an inch I think, no more. I am looking around for other bumper options that have more room, mine is showing signs of age as well. I have more pics of the brackets, and before the piping was installed ...also any other angle anyone wants to see. |
Yep, that's a front mount alright.
