RTH: Anyone have install instructions for Metal Tech bumper?

[ElJayBird]

I’m at the shop, all ready to go and no instructions on the website or in the package. Anyone have instructions for the Ghost Rider stage 2 front bumper install?

Did you ever find instructions and get your bumper installed?

Metal-tech 4x4 is writing new ones. To do so we are also going to install the OP's bumper.
Right now the instructions are 1. drop off the truck at MT. 2. Pick up truck with bumper installed.

We formally stopped doing installs back in 16' but its good practice and nice to have the welders that built the bumpers do an install now and then. In this case, very helpful as we can create the instructions we want and the OP gets an install by the manufacturer.

If it’s any consolation, the instructions that came with our Rhino 4x4 bumpers were garbage. We didn’t use them at all because they were like “step 1 - prepare truck for bumper, step 2 - install all brackets and winch if required” etc. My guess is ARB might be a little better, but unfortunately most of these bumpers require a lot of patience and discovery.

Unfortunately its a bit of an industry thing. Even the big guys like ARB, TJM etc. they end up with written sheets with difficult to see photos printed in B/W. (To their credit they always have SOMETHING at least) For us small manufacturers we push to develop and get the first product to market and the poor install guides are then, well poor. We know this at Metal-tech 4x4 and hope by the end of this year to fix that for all of our products. As a 9 person company its a slow process but I know we can do better.
