There are no instructions other than the thread Ben recently made.
Did you first assemble everything on the truck to make sure everything fits and then tear it apart for powder coating? That’s what I’m planning to do. Just trying to understand how easy it would be to disassemble the swingout assembly before powder coat.
I got the bumper relatively early on IPO and there was no instructions. It's not difficult tho, if you lay the parts out they make sense. I know there is a lot of them but they make sense when you lay them out. I've now installed two of these bumpers and two swing arms.
No, I wasnt going to spend the time to do that. IMO the hardest part will be figuring out which bolt goes where. The rear bumper has A LOT of bolts, lol.
There will be some monkeying with it, but to be honest I'm not concerned.
I wouldn't do that, too much time. Just powder coat and make sure threads on welded bolts are covered during powder coating.
Thanks @ibrahim83
Are you guys going with spots or floods in your 3x3 cutouts?
I was leaning floods, but wanted a second opinion. I'll be running a spot/flood combo 20" light bar up front as well.

I think you definitely want either flood or driving lights there since they are angled to the sides a bit and are meant to illuminate the sides of the trail. Spot lights are designed for longer throw which I don't see working at all in this application.
I went with rigid floods. They're perfect for the off axis setup on the bumper. My bixenon hid low/high and led highs take care of the straight ahead lighting. It all creates an almost 180 degree beam horizontally and the floods light up the trees as well.
If i ever need light straight ahead, I'll buy a light bar, which is highly unlikely at this point.
Yeah, exactly my logic, re: off axis setup and floods. Glad in the real world it works well. Thanks.

Finally got some time to finish up all the wiring and shimming. Granted I had my install frustrations, I am very happy with the end result. Ben makes one good looking bumper!
@ibrahim83 I like your idea for the control box mount. For right now I just zip tied mine to the winch. I will relocate it to under the hood when I have more free time.

I really like the updated bumpers flat and recessed winch design.
Is your truck white? can you take another image a little further back? looks great by the way!

I need to modify it a little bit and I simply didn't have time to do it before my trip. Ben is helping me out. Hopefully I'll have time this week.
looks awesome. did you leave the side moldings tan or paint them? Sorry to keep asking for more pictures, it just looks great!
What's the normal lead time for the front bumper?

No worries. My side moldings are grey. See photo below. I plan on painting them white.
When I ordered mine in January, Ben quoted 8-12 weeks. Can't remember exactly but I think it was closer to 8 weeks when I got mine.
