is it just a bolt on or will i have to do some modding to my frame horns to get it to work?

08xlt4x4 has the bumper from his truck sitting in a hangar 7 blocks from my house i may have to go steal lol

anyone have pics of such a feat?

 

Frame horn mods, yes. For stock bolt-on.

Getting his old tube bumper on your truck is merely a trip to the welder away...

 

nooooooo i dont want his tube bumper.. why would i put that beast on my lowered truck... im talking about his stock bumper lol

 

knowing you, you'd have that crazy idea to do that!





lol......yeah...frame needs to be addressed and you'll have a big gap under your grille because the bumper isn't flat on the top like yours is.

 

ask toreador, he has i think an 06'-07' bumper on his 98'-00' model....he may be a big help

 

a dude at my school has an 02 bumper on his 98. theres no gap really because the grille eclosure comes down so far

 

well **** maybe i have to get the tube one.. now that its lowered i could be encountering more honda tin cans

 

bumpp

 

they changed the frame horns in 98

 

any bumper from 98 to present i believe is interchangeable, anything older than 98 is not without some heavy duty mods

 

The 98 grill is completely different than yours. As Shane said Your grill is flat at the bottom. The bumper isnt. If you like gaps then go for it, but I think you will regret it.

 

Uh oh i can see where this is going.

 

ive seen it done i just cant remember where though.

EDIT: he is the picture i saw with it done. granted its not a 07 bumper but its close. by the way does anybody know whos truck this is? I pulled the picture out of R-F video on youtube.

 

no pic attached...

 

err. alright let me load it through photobucket instead of here on RF

EDIT: should work now!

 

that doesnt look bad

 

i think with the bumper filler installed under the header panel it may look half way decent. ill have to see what it will take to make it bolt on to my frame horns
i think ill have to add fender flares to make it match the back part of the bumper

 

well that is a 04is bumper. the 07-08 dont have that i dont think.

 

no ive got bumper filler from mine that i dont currently have installed. it attaches to the bottom of the header panel and fenders via those black plastic plugs

 

Here's my '93 w/ edge bumper and '07 bumper. Just have to make new brackets because the frame horns are wider on '98 and up.

 

it looks like you have an entirely new front end? i was looking to simply attach a new one not redo the front end lol

 

the way that 04 bumper attaches is the same as the way the 08 bumper attaches... sooo, it is possible, but who know what he did to the front of the frame to make it work.



you can see the frame horns in there, the slots to the left and right are what the bumper mounts to... does yours look anything like this?

 

well keith were going to have to take off my bumper and stick yours on there and figure it out... its got fogs in it right?



thats what my frame horns look like

 

yup

 

i dont think its gonna work w/o welding some brackets on there
