hobospyder Posted October 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2016 Fair enough. Bumperettes are on-ish...... Need to get some more fasteners for them though, maybe get the brackets powdercoated or something.... might have to take a trip down and risk losing them on the drive 2 Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted October 6, 2016 Report Share Posted October 6, 2016 Yeah. Don't do that. 1 Link to comment

hobospyder Posted October 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2016 since the cat was whining about the bumperettes recently had one bolt in a pre-existing hole and a c-clamp holding it in place like so grabbed a can of spray paint to paint through the other hole to mark where i needed to drill (pre spray) and i sprayed only to be confused by the lack of spray paint on the other side of the hole. another pre-existing hole lines up perfect for where it was in the pictures above and bam, tightened it down and got the other side mostly done, need a new bolt for attaching brackets to the frame and replacement dome bolt things for the bumperettes to brackets. 2 Link to comment
hobospyder Posted October 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2016 and then i was left with extra time down in the shop and not much of anything i could do other than take stuff off the truck..... and well, i have another one sitting off to the side because there's a outward pointing dent in the original bulge undersides a little bit of nature got inside, will have to take my shop vac down with me next time i get out there 2 Link to comment

hobospyder Posted October 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2016 Removed bumperettes today, debating complete teardown of my girl at this point because.... well, no particular reason other than i plan to do it eventually and I'm bored. Attempted to sand blast the brackets for my bumperettes but my sandblaster is a piece of shit so that didnt happen. Put on of each of the two fasteners into my daily so i can attempt to replace them all. 1 Link to comment
