[QUOTE="Qaddiction, post: 456944, member: 18430"] I rushed home from work and took a few pictures of the raw bumper attached to the frame rails. This is where it will sit on final installation. I'm not sure if you can tell, but it's tucked pretty tight to the front. It will definitely help with the front end approach angle. I placed my winch on the bumper for fitment. It will sit right up against the metal bar in front of the radiator. The grill will have to be trimmed for it to fit. The pictures show the fitment of the VKS Felon front bumper. You can see the holes through the top of the frame rail that I had to drill to mount the bumper. Well, the back two holes were already there. I just had to enlarge them slightly. Then drill the front holes on both frame rails. The bumper also uses the factory sway bar holes underneath. I removed the 4 bolts holding the front of the sway bar in place, lowered the sway bar, slid the bumper back into position, then raised the sway bar back up and reinstalled the 4 bolts. I did get a couple coats of paint on the cut frame rails before I had to take my daughter to soccer practice. I guess its off to the shop tomorrow. Next pictures should look a little different!
