Ok, I've got to say the DRTY Bumper is awesome! What a piece of work. It's well crafted, slips right on and wires up without any problems.
With the old bumper and valance removed. All that was necessary was to remove a few 18mm bolts from the bumper, disconnect the DRL's and slide the bumper off.

You should put a DRTY or MOAB decal over the upside down Tabor sticker. The orange seems out of place to me. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>Yes, I will take one in just a minute. 
Now, I put this here incase anyone orders this bumper and doesn't get the instructions.  I ended up with two nuts and bolts, and two plugs leftover. DRTY, where do they go?

Attach the winch by sliding it in place and use the supplied nuts and bolts. Run ground cable from winch to the engine compartment.
Open hood and attach bracket to hood latch ONE bolt at a time using the new nylock nuts and bolts. Mount control box.
FWIW, I used tin snips to remove some unneeded metal brackets on the back of the box to get a nice flush fit against the new bracket.

They make remotes (wireless) controls...that is what I would get. Check into that Ken!

Then you remove the front hitch mount and separate the valance from the stock bumper. POC.
Slide the new bumper on with the supplied 4 washers and loosely attach. Add the faring.
Before mounting the winch you need to remove the cable that came with it because the DRTY bumper comes with a new synthetic line and the cable is heavy.

The winch is ready to test and respool. Run the new line UNDER the spool and attach to the ground screw. Turn the winch mounted dial 180*.
Have someone run the winch while you pull the line and run it across the spool keeping it taught.
When finished you can begin mounting the valance. You only use four of the original screws and you may want to trim the bottom of the valance above the winch to completely clear it. I started to do this, but screwed up so I just jammed it on and it works fine.

It really is a nice product and 1/4" steel.
Here's a pic of the battery adaptor. You have to carefully pry the factory plastic hood in order to remove the factory bolt. BTW, the bolt is removed easiest by pulling it away from the battery, not toward it.
This adaptor gives you room to mount many electrical devices straight to the battery.

Even with that, I think it is the best looking and engineered bumper on the market. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
That truck looks great!!
There's a couple of wireless remote systems that can be used. I have been trying to find a wiring supplier to make an extension plug that can be run to the side slatted vent near the hood latch. Not much luck yet. All of them are $100+ so far. Wireless remote is probably the way to go. |
