Labor costs for Dissent Bumper?

[leoMax]

Anyone have a clue what the average cost is for a professional install of the Dissent Off-road front bumper on a 100 series?

Depends on the shop and their labor rate, I would guess 2-3 hours, average rates seem around $150 now.

Should be much cheaper with this option (<$500). Their modular bumper is a nightmare.
I dropped mine off at the powder coater and will be installing it next week.

Nah nobody is doing this in 2-3hrs. No way. It’s like 100 pieces and 500 nuts and bolts.

And if you have rust it will take you 2-3 hours of swearing just to remove the old bumper.

Pic I took before i installed their front and rear bumper. You also have to cut the end caps off the front frame rails, paint and give time to cure to fit the front bumper.

The picture he referenced is not their modular bumper, I’m guessing it’s just removal of stock Tupperware and bolting on the pre-welded bumper. 2-3hrs seems appropriate.

You still have to cut the frame horns and touch it up but definitely not as time consuming as their modular bumper.

Not the same bumper. One piece and like 8 bolts.

@leoMax any update on your install? It’s probably the easiest bumper to install once you cut the frame horns. However, finding a winch that fits w/o cutting out the front reinforcement bar is a challenge.
