Re: METALTECH bumper installed! very happy customer!

Looks good! You even wired the lights - I'm impressed... I've yet to do that

I also love that the only tools visibile in the shot are a little 3/8 socket kit - and a Sawzall!

Re: METALTECH bumper installed! very happy customer!

Looks great. The sawzall part worries me though. What did you have to use that for?

Re: METALTECH bumper installed! very happy customer!

So did you keep the metal bracket under the headlights on?

Looks great with the black bash plate.

lol... well i used it on trimming the wheel well plastic...
after talking w/ my bro... he was like, why didn't you use your dremel?
lol... that's the only thing i used it for.
don't use a sawzall... it didn't work to well for that flimsy plastic, but it did get the job done.
