Take your time doing the job and have a friend come over with a 6 pack.

Sounds like my friends. They come to help with something and bring a 6 pack for a 24 pack job End up drinking my beer and I finish the project the next day

Good luck with the install and don't forget the pictures

You will definitely not be able to do this by yourself. These things are awkward and heavy. I used the end loader on the tractor for mine.

Well, I take that back. I've done harder things then this on my own when I had to but for your safety and the bumpers as well you should have help. Hard to hold it in place and bolt it up at the same time.

they are big and awkward to but on, no doubt, but, when shined up and on the right truck, they look sweet as hell...

yeah they look sweet as he** but they work too, i have personally paid for mine over and over by hitting 3 deers with mine, not even a dent in the bumper, no damage done to truck either. i love them
