Well, the old thread was starting to take a while to load, and there were a ton of side topics, so now that the major part is done, here are the final results:
Alright, the bumper is done. I installed grade 8 bolts through the tubing for the cross member for backup to the welds, better safe than sorry. I still need to run the wiring in the conduit, for permanent install, but I got everything wired up. Blue Halo LED around driving lights, LED turn signals and side markers all operate at normal speed. Driving lights and side markers on with parking lights.
I am mildly retarded and dropped one of the driving lights, and of course it landed lens down. It shattered, so I need to buy another set sometime this week. Maybe I will mount the odd one out on the hitch as a reverse light?
I will post video of the light operations tonight after it gets dark.
I told ya it wouldn't be so bad once I got it all black, and mounted up. I still need to build the cosmetic stuff to fill in the gaps. Maybe I will work on that tomorrow.
Check out the angles on the turn signals and bumper cutout, it all lines up with the fender angle. I also trimmed off the extra on the driver's side. Everything is nice and symmetrical now.
