J.R. 1 Posted April 29, 2014 Those who I have been on runs with are familiar with my Jeep. So I should introduce y'all to my D.D. / tow rig. Its a '05 Sliverado 4x4 CrewCab Short bed with the Duramax/Allison combo. My intentions are to eventually mount a popup cabover camper and use it for a base camp rig while driving my TJ out exploring. The other day while perusing CraigsList for things that I just couldnt live without, I actually stumbled on to something! (see the post in Craigslist finds for linky) A 4wd supplier was shutting his doors and selling off everything at dirt cheep prices! So I bought a new front bumper for my pickup. The bumper is made by ASFIR which is out Israel and from what I understand is known for building the armor/ upgrades for the military vehicles over there. The before picture. Parts Off with the old. Winch plate Bumper wings on. Crossbar on, Winch cover removed. I didnt get started installing the bumper until about 5pm my wife came out and informed me I was done for the night at 10pm so I quickly threw the winch coverplate on (8 bolts) and cleaned up for the night. After taking an hour for dinner Ive only got about 4 hours into the install. So this is where we stand this morning. Just some minor adjustments and trimming the plastic wheel well liner to match the new contour and Im done.........Oh except now I need to buy a winch.
