Vijay/eBay Rear Metal Bumper

Hello! I’ve seen a few people with Vijay rear bumpers and everyone seemed happy, so I pulled the trigger and got my own. The instructions say to remove 3 of the 16mm bolts and to bolt it there. Has anyone else done the install or have any tips?

 

I just checked out their website. I don't even see a first gen option but maybe I'm blind???

edit: looks like their actual website doesn't offer a first gen option, but their Amazon site does?

 

I just looked on their eBay posting and it showed that it fit. I now a couple local guys that have them on their first gen and they said it was easy enough I just forgot to ask. The instructions they sent aren't the best.... They show a 2nd gen on the instructions, but the bumper and brackets they sent match up with my bolts underneath.

 

How heavy is it? And can we call it the vijayjay? I see em alot on the fb group.

 

From here on out, it will only be referenced as the VIJAYJAY
It says 80.5 pounds on their description.

Have you removed the original bumper yet?

Once you get the plastic and chrome pcs off everything should be exposed.

this video should be similar but uses 3 19mm

Curious what needs to be done/spliced to get functionality of the lights? Tap into reverse lights? Dedicated switch? I suppose one could do both? @PsyGuy please update when you install. Thanks!

 

His wife is gonna be pissed that he stole her good dish gloves!

Great find! I’m going to use this when I look at doing mine!

 

Im not sure how bright the LED’s are. My plan was to splice one pair into the reverse wiring and the other to a dedicated switch.

 

Any updates on if this fit?

 

I won’t have an update until the end of the week. I am heavily lubricating the bolts as prep with penetrating oil due to my history of snapping bolts

I should have news by the end of the week. I’m taking pictures as well to note my progress.

 

Smart man. Been there and done that too many times
