The Body shop I went to removed the bumper for $100. He said it took him 5 hours but was charging fair.
But his guys couldn't figure out how to install it even though I was able to print out the instructions and also include Tim's YouTube video for the (removal of the stock bumper + installing the Sonoran steel body mounts) when he installed the CBI bumper.
So now he took it to an auto care half a mile down the road and the initial quote was $400 but said it could be less when they start looking at it tomorrow.
So is the total of $500 reasonable for body mount install and an already powder coated bumper?

Is the underside of your truck rusted to nuggets? Your in the salt belt so I’m guessing it’s pretty rusty? It makes getting old bolts out a huge pain. And by pain I mean cutting things off because it’s rusted into a solid mass of oxidation.
I think $500 is a little steep for a back bumper install. Maybe $200-$300 seems reasonable.
You need to find some wrenching friends and put that on.
