Boulder Accessories bumper install trouble on H3t

[tomp]

The round-tube cross member is bolted on. Just take out the bolts and throw it in the trash

...and than go buy an 06/07 skid plate because yours will not fit.

Pretty much what they said too!

Thanks guys! Knew about the skid plate but not removing the brace. Issue resolved.

I bought the bumper about a month ago and it's still sitting in my garage. I was wondering if you really had to remove the grill and why? Anything difficult about the install?

You'll want to pull the grill out of the way to run the winch wires.
If you have an 08+ model year, remove the brace on the frame
If you have an 08+ model year, you'll need an 06-07 skid plate (4speedfunk on the *******club forms make custom skids that will also accommodate this bumper)
Remove the 4 bolts on the underside of the bumper that attach the winch, makes it much easier to align.
Buy about 5 ft of 1" wire loom to protect the winch wires, there are some sharp metal edges that they pass over.
That's about it, otherwise its an easy install.

Hey man cool T! I got my boulder bumper in the mail right before I left on a depolyment to Italy... so didnt get a chance to install it yet. Do you have any side pictures of your truck... of the whole vehicle... i'd really like to see how it turned out!
