    Thank you!
    I did the usual BMC and then I ended just cutting some of the bumper cap to fit.

    Should have also commented that I went with 275 70 18's.. Not a great shot, but wasn't really zoning in on the tires, more the ominous sky...

    Finally buttoned up a couple projects that have been on my todo list:

    C66C1E08-8FAF-48B8-9302-00FC32CD5E51.jpg 987B26D6-9427-4342-B844-727F6CC74A43.jpg 5A15D7DD-D2B2-49DD-8BD0-394917CB75DE.jpg

    Now just need to install the LED OEM headlights with the harness. Not looking forward to it. May have to get some help, it seems a little too technical for me.

    Thanks for the vote of confidence. I did get the dimmer option so there are a couple more steps. I just ordered the depin tool(or whatever it is). So going to give it a shot next week.

    I did the same option and did the amber delete.

    When wiring inside the cabinet, there isn't a lot of room, located where everything is first and get comfortable with the space. I do put painters tape on the headlights and fender on the edges to prevent any scratches.

    There are a lot of Youtube videos out there for the headlight portion. Most all of them have you unbolt the inner fender portion for the panel that is between the headlight and bumper, it's not needed, that panel pops out and pops in.


    funny enough a lot of fog light swaps have people unbolt that fender cover when changing fog lights, when you can pop out the fog light from the front of the truck with a pry tool. Hope that saves some extra unnecessary steps.

    Thanks for that. I’m going to do the amber delete also. Do you have a pic of your headlights installed?

    Here are a few I took right after install. I think I only had the truck 3 days when I installed them. Was a little more difficult with the grille guard and limited space but I managed.

    I got those same headlights also. Your truck looks good! That’s a huge bumper. You can drive through a house with that thing. :rofl:

    Thanks. I love it too. These RC bumpers do a great job going with the Tundra's lines

    Is it a bumper? Looks like a huge very elaborate bull bar.

    That's a an elaborate bull bar correct? Doesn't seem to be a bumper or meant to withstand any real impact correct?

    Correct. At least no big impact and some help with parking lot bumps and maybe assist in a deer impact.

    I'm still not 100% sold on it, my dad left it on when he sold the truck to me and it's taken a few hits from some cows and held up great (head nudges and parked) . Adds a small % piece of mind, but I'd personally never buy one.
