DetoursUSA bumper on the trail.

fyrfytr1717 said:Just so no one gets the wrong idea, the missing steps Mudderoy is referring to actually tie the bumper into the unibody "frame rails". It's not held on solely by the 8 factory bolts.
As for fitment with a skid plate or hitch, the bumper will not directly interfere with the mounting of either as the tie in brackets mount inside the "frame rail", not underneath it where the skid and hitch bolt on. Where you may run into difficulty is with the hardware as the DetoursUSA bumper doesn't use the rear most nut strip hole. You'll need to get 2 new (very) short bolts when your remount your skid and/or hitch if they use that rear most hole. Unfortunately, I've had a lot of time to figure all this out as the mounting brackets and my DPG skid plate are all that I have mounted at this time. It's been slow going due to the end caps on my first bumper being smashed by UPS on the way here. Mark called today to let me know my 2nd bumper will be shipping out by the end of this week. Let's hope UPS is a little gentler this time.:twak:
Mudderoy, you and I would make a great match right now between my "brackets only" and your "bumper only" mounting jobs. You must have been in a real hurry to mount it and not be worried about all that leftover hardware. Directions can be your friend. :rtm:
Mudderoy said:BTW, you know he added bracing (I'm assuming) to the the ends of the bumper for shipping? I bet it was because of your situation.
Did your bumper (the bent one) have those metal straps from the sides to the bumper?
lilredxj99 said:hmm... so I guess it's between c-rok and detours... oh the agony....
