Looks like everyone is jumping on the bandwagon

It looks fairly well built. What are your in person impressions??

 

[17T4RTRDORP]

it looks awesome. i had two scratches that i saw. I have a paint enamel pen that matches it so its no big deal to fill it in but still should show up perfect. seems solid but not too heavy. overall impression not including the scratches is 10/10

How much was it at gowarn.com? What skids will you be running with it?

 

[17T4RTRDORP]

I have arb skid plates installed. I think from gowarn.com is was like $700 free shipping. I didn’t know at the time they had them cheaper at summit racing otherwise I think I would have bought from them

Here’s some more pictures. I uploaded them as soon as I could. I know I have been searching for more pictures so I knew others would appreciate it. I will absolutely be putting this on this weekend. Might be as late as Sunday but I’ll post pictures in this thread as soon as it’s bolted on.

Do the recovery points go through the bumper and get welded to the part that goes back to the frame mounting point, or are they just welded to the bumper?

They are welded on both sides of the bumper. If I’m understanding you correctly they do not get welded to the frame on the car. There is no welding involved in the installation of the bumper. Also, no hardware in included because you reuse your factory bolts

The price that bolts to the frame, are they welded to that? Do you have a picture of the back?

You can see on this one that he posted that they are welded through the bumper. Warn typically uses this method.

Just got an email from Summit that my ship date has been moved up to the 9th.

Easy don't run him off with all the questions. He is the 1st one of us to get it. He plainly stated he would install this weekend. I'm sure he will have plenty of pics and we can ask questions after the install. On a different note i received an email from summit mine is supposed to ship on 3/7.

Looks like the recovery points come through and are welded on both sides. They are welded to the extension section of the bumper that bolts to the frame. Hope this helps answer questions. Also, I promise I won’t be that guy that never ends up posting pictures. I hate that. This weekend for sure. Thanks

He is not the only one that has his bumper... Just haven't found the time get install it. He will most likely beat me to installation. But I will post pictures of my TRD Pro installation when it is done.

Wait...what? You reuse factory hardware?? What about the Frame Extension brackets (A2,A3) in the instructions? And the support straps A5? Were those included?

 

[17T4RTRDORP]

Ok. Just got it installed. As the previous post states I never received frame extension brackets or the brackets on the bottom. It turns out I didn’t need them or at least I don’t think I did. I will be calling warn Monday to make sure. I know when I purchased mine I had to provide the year (2017) so maybe this year doesn’t need the brackets? Or they forgot to include them. Either way it bolted up just fine and I can always add the extension brackets easily if I need them later. I would like to hear from the other guy that said he had already received his and see if his box had brackets and hardware with it. In my opinion it looks awesome. This modification is definitely worth it! Here are some pictures as promised.

This took me from start to finish including clean up a little over two and a half hours. I had air tools so that helped. The plastic things you have to trim in my opywas the most frustrating part. The directions don’t really tell you where to trim and mocking it up was difficult for me. Make sure you don’t mix up the left and right. I did and trimmed too much but it doesn’t really matter. Cutting the bumper with an air saw was really easy. A little nerve racking but if you have a valance on your bumperand trace it it’s a perfect cut. I know there was some concern about the gap between the skid plates and the bumper. I am happy to say it’s a small gap and protects the radiator very well. I’ll upload a picture of that because I know people are running different sizes skids
