@jearred.foruria

So you ARE on the forums haha. I used your video to build mine and it came in extremely handy. Did a couple things different, but overall the video was spot on. Thanks for putting it together.

You rated this as a 2 on difficulty. I've never welded and don't even own a welder. This looks like a 8-9 difficulty rating for someone who has never welded before.

It really isn't hard bud. Just like putting together a puzzle. And, with a little practice, ANYONE could do it!

Thank you for your awesome youtube video! I watched it bout 5 times in the past month and it inspired me so much that i went ahead and ordered the Coastal Offroad rear bumper with dual swing outs for my 5th Gen. Never touched a welder in my life except the ones on display at Harbor Freight lol

You mentioned you used a Hobart 140 Flux core, how many times did u go past the duty cycle of that welder?

Keep in mind that you’ll need to plug it into a circuit that can support the amps you’re going to be drawing. The only outlet I can use my 140 on is on a 15A circuit and I can only run a bead for 8 or 9 seconds before the breaker trips. I bet you’ll run into that problem we’ll before you hit the welder’s duty cycle.

I can’t wait to buy a house and wire the garage for 3 phase haha

I too just installed my front Coast Offroad bumper. It's pretty straight forward and went together pretty quick. My only advice is to install 2x of the thin stainless washers between the frame and the plates that end up boxing in the frame. They suggest sliding one in to allow some room to easily get the bumper on/off. I did this but found after powdercoating it was still pretty tight getting it back on. That extra 1/16" would have been perfect. My $0.02

Also this. It takes greasing the frame rails and beating the bumper with a rubber mallet to get mine on but I assume that was mostly due to user error haha
