Nice bumper!


anyone have any suggestions for storing hard top outside? I was going to put it behind my house on a pallet covered in a tarp as i really do not have room inside of my garage for it. i know it stays outside all day every day right now, i'm more worried about the inside of it getting messed up or the oklahoma wind pushing it around.

That'd be my biggest worry of setting it outside is that the wind catching it and flinging it around. If you have some way of securing it - for example, a small chain link around the area you keep the hard top, that way, if a limb or something were to blow by, you don't run the risk of it causing any damage, plus, it'd give you something to tether the top down to and keep it from moving around in the wind. But personally, I'd keep it inside if at all possible.

You then need to drill some new holes to accommodate the new bumper (because you've now cut off the plates for the two frame rails that held the stock bumper). Lots of work with a great pay-off!
