Small mounting problem...

radiorobwalker · 11-10-2007, 07:54 PM

Hi All... I mounted my bumper today and while everything seemed go together ok, I noticed the alignment seemed a bit off.

The bumper is flush up to the sheet metal on the passenger side, but there's about a quarter inch gap on the drivers side. I have no idea how to fix this as there's no adjustment for fine tuning the fit... it's just 4 bolts on each side, plus the brackets.

Any thoughts?

Just mounted mine today, left everything hand tight til it was leveled. then torqued the bumper down, then the bracket, then drilled the 3/8'' hole so it is bang on. ahving the stubby and regular ratchet wrenches made a huge difference!

Rob contacted us via email on this a while back and we gave him a few suggestions and told him to keep us posted. We haven't heard back from him on it yet still either. He is a DJ so I imagine his schedual is pretty busy.....

The rig is currently @ my shop getting the lift and wheel/tire package installed. I'm gonna get a look at it again in the AM, but it looks like the holes may have to be slotted slightly to get it all to align properly.

Mine seemed do do the same initally, but after loosening all the bolts and giving it a couple of good pushes, it leveled out and seems great. i waited a week or so and double checked all mounting bolts and the squareness of it before i drilled and mounted the through bolts.

Sorry I haven't been back in touch... it's been slightly hectic.

I had the bumper off to mount the winch and it does look as if I'll have to slot the drivers side. I was hoping a few good shoves would align everything...but no dice.

I'll let you know what happens when I pull it off again.
