  • Continue dialing in the final bumper fitment:

    Click image for larger version  Name:	IMG_2582.jpg Views:	3 Size:	203.8 KB ID:	116016 but a non existent gap on the left side. The problem now is that the bolts are bottomed out in the bracket slots and won't allow for any additional movement to the left.
    Click image for larger version  Name:	IMG_2584.jpg Views:	3 Size:	175.6 KB ID:	116017 The right side is maxed out but at this point I'm still in need of an additional 1/2 inch of adjustment. I could open the slots up further but the bracket half on the left here would out of range. As you can the base mount has been damaged and rewelded at some point so one thought is to cut it free and move it over where it is needed for this specific application.

Bumper was stripped entirely and was now in process of dialing in a uniform reveal/gap between these two parts. More on this next.

    Thanks for looking!
