Has anyone installed the Smittybilt SRC Front Bumper by themselves? If so how difficult was it?

Ill be buying that and if extra cash is available I'll also be getting a CB radio (Cobra 19 OR Uniden 520). But the bumper for sure. ill be putting them on on Sunday if anyone want to assist/drink some .



P.S. I lack tools I just have acces to basic stuff.

No reason why you can't.....it's a few bolts and the old one will come loose and the new one should use 8 19mm sized nuts, though the bumper may be a little heavy.

Bumper installs are pretty easy.. If you need help holding and drinking beer, let me know..

... I suppose I could lend a hand with the install as well lol. I can bring my tools as well if you want.

It's not hard.. Just a couple tough spots to get to if u have large hands. Short extensions can help, as can a case of beer

Just block the bumper up to the frame height and slide on.. Sometimes a couple of milk crates are just right..
