I finally got around to installing my new rear bumper. All of the holes lined up and the install went pretty smooth. The hardest part is cutting the existing plastic bumper just right.
Before I installed it, I questioned the need to buy a new tow hitch. Now that I've installed the bumper, I realized that All Pro designed it to be light weight and strong. There are 10 bolts that connect to the frame to hold this bad boy down. The same six bolts that hold the factory hitch, supports this bumper and also holds the All Pro hitch.
As you can see, it took a little help from my daughter. She always figures these things out.
Looks great, this is the next mod I am going to get when I have the extra money. I love the look and clearence of the all pro but I mostly want it so it'll match the front and rails. Do you have the Allpro front? maybe you could show us some more pics at different angles or from further away? anyhoo looks nice Tit-Cruiser

Looking good John! Looks like you drilled another hole so you can retain the tow point. I didn't drill and the original point wouldn't quite line up (not leveled) so I just left it off. I'll have to look into that.

Tony, It seems that the bumper has evolved some. The only hole that I drilled was for the trailer wiring harness. All 10 of the mounting holes lined up perfectly.

Yep, my tow hook went right back on in the same holes with no drilling either (with the slightly longer AllPro-supplied bolts, of course).
