Hey all,

Just gonna start this thread and update it through the weekend in the steps of getting this done:

Truck before:


That's with the chrome nerf bars and painted rear bumper (SLT Sport)

So here's the first prep work and as far as I got so far:

My truck sporting A**less chaps:


No Nerf bars:


Bumper off:


Nerf bars off:


Will be getting them sand blasted tomorrow AM and update with pics, then Sunday is bedlining day.

As said will edit in new pics tomorrow,
Thanks for viewing,
Kasper

 

Definitely keep us updated! I would like to do something like this to my truck to get rid of the chrome bumpers and nerf bars

 

Yessir, I just got up and am leaving for the sandblasting. Pics in a few hours.

EDIT:
This is what I got done so far:
Temporary mount and light for the license plate:


While I had the bumper off I put on some rear tow hooks with up to 20,000lbs capacity. Some pretty sick claws:



I get the bars and bumper back on Wednesday, then it's straight to Line-X.
See you all Wednesday!
Kasper

 

Update:

Got the bumpers and bars back, and brought them straight to Line-X.
Will post pictures with the line-x and then on the truck

 

I like those claws! Where did you get those and did they just bolt up to the receiver hitch?

 

My dad had them laying around. I believe he bought them at Wal Mart or a similar place (NAPA, autozone, pep boys...)

Installation was drilling two 1/2inch holes through the bottom of that plate and bolting them on. I didn't torque them, but they were so tight on final tightening that my whole truck shook with me, haha.

Got 3 of the 4 holes drilled with an 18v cordless drill, just be prepared to have molten fragments of Dodge falling on you. Gloves and safety goggles with a hoodie stopped all of that. Good luck on the claws, looks menacing.

I'll keep you all posted in the next few days when I get the bumper back

 

GOT EM

 

Looks awesome!

How bright are those LED reverse lights?

 

48w each XD, plus I have 4 24w and 2 18w ones on my roof. Nobody in my small town will tailgate me

I forgot to mention:
Sandblasting cost $195 for everything.
Bedlining cost $250 for everything.

 

Nice!
