With lightening speed!!! i have finally installed the Shrockworks front bumper.
Removal of oem bumper was fairly straightforward and without issue.
Pull the skid. First you roll around the top of the grill, bottom of bumper and inside of fenders- removing all screws and body clips as you work around. Then- starting at each end of the bumper at fenders, you just start firmly but gently pulling at the bumper. It just starts popping and pulling off- dont forget to unplug the turn/fog lights before the full plastic bumper comes off. Thats the tricky part. Rest is just removal of the alum. bumper and a few trim pieces.
I have heard complaints regarding the instructions included, but honestly, i thought they were easy enough and touched all the areas i wanted just a bit of guidance.
Install was simple and the instructions were more than adequate.
I have found, after a few of these types of bumper installs, that i can easily do this single-handedly with an engine hoist. just strap the bumper top hoop to the hoist and jack to the height. then use a ratchet strap hooked to each end of the bumper either hooked on the inside or outside of bumper to rotate/tilt it in or out so it is horizontally aligned.
Only real issue- The metal body trim pieces that mount below the headlights could be more precise, but they line up purdy good after a few trys if you dont look too critically or closely.
Awesome approach angle increases over stock, i really like that the hoops at the front corners are JUST barely visible in the drivers-seat if i peer over the hood- great for locating front corner of vehicle off-road or parking
Still stock suspension and no noticeable droop with the weight on the front.

now for some sliders, skids, wheels/tires, and a little lift!! Speed is of the essence
