Recently someone backed into my bumper and left a pretty big dent in the left corner of it. I went ahead and ordered a fancy ol' aftermarket bumper with the light bars and the pods, and I can't wait for it to be fabricated.

Only problem is that I live in Missouri, and you have to run both the front and the back plates and I won't really have a good spot to put it on the front. Has anyone else run into this problem yet?

Make sure the welder puts a place for it. They have to do that all the time.

Some states require it be on the most forward portion of he vehicle.

What brand bumper and truck is it?

You might have to refer to local police desk. But in Maryland it's acceptable as long as you don't have a license plate holder. I drove for about a year in my s4 with one in my window with no issues or even a warning. I ended up with a recovery bolt plate holder. Which you might have them make instead. So you can unbolt it whenever you want.

This is more or less what the bumper will look like. I just don't even know where they'd mount it.

You can weld in a bolt off the center and you just screw it in.

Just an example of what it looks like.

I'd punch 4 1/4" holes on the bottom center section. I'd check that it's legal at that angle/height but I'd bet they'll be fine with it.

Id run it without until you get pulled over. I know people that dont have them here in wisconsin (which requires it) and haven't had any issues.

Yeah, but my truck already pulls enough attention as it is. I don't really want to give cops reasons to pull me over.

      Clunk when putting truck into drive and reverse.

      By Matt Parker · Posted

      I have a 2000 Silverado 1500 LS, whenever I put it into reverse and also in drive it clunks, the truck also feels sluggish when driving. Any advice/ideas ?

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Missing pieces of the Assembly   Detergency vs Solvency   Not the same thing. Detergency is the mechanism that surrounds solid particulates preventing amalgamation. Usually accompanied by a Dispersant whose job it is to keep those encapsulated particles in Suspension. Solvency keeps things that can be dissolved in solution.    Salt is a solid that can be dissolved. Pepper is a solid that cannot be dissolved. A detergent/dispersant is effective on pepper but a solvent is more effective on salt. As long as the solids remain in either state, dissolved or dispersed then they can be be removed with the oil upon change.    How many wranglers does it take to herd cats? Depends on how many cats your herding. How much sponge does it take to soak up water? How much water is there to soak up? Point is most oil blends start with some herding ability and next to zero sponge and recently even fewer wranglers are being sent to do the same job.    So you start with a dozen cowboys and zero cows but at the drive progresses you pick up cows along the way, but not cowboys. At some point you have more cows that the wranglers can handle and some leave the herd. Deposits. And the API has an acceptable number of cows they are willing to let loose. In the ideal world zero is the right number for he rancher but to the butcher....a few lost is fine. This cow is beat to death. Let's move on....   Solvency isn't something oils on the Walmart shelf care about AT ALL. Problem is, you motor does. Fuels driven varnish sticks rings and only a solvent can keep them in check. The bet is that the solids driven portion that plug the expander rings and the oil drain backs and VVT screens and AFM screens will be an issue long before varnish is. Not that it wont be but if they market well enough the consumer can be kept ignorant enough to either believe it is "normal" (A quart in 1 or 2K is normal) OR is kept at bay longer than the first owner is likely to hang on to the unit. Solvency cost money.    Now the OEM's have John Q. Public buffaloed into the belief that the number cows accumulated along the trail is a known and predictable CONSTANT. It isn't. Nor is the rate at which they crossed paths with them. Only the number of wrangles is constant. Or was. Each new generation of oil sees fewer and fewer of them.    So what happens when the number of cowboys is lower (lower TBN) with each seasons trail but the trial is longer (OCI) and the number of cows along that trail continues increase? (Conditions that promote deposits).    For awhile the blenders were on to something. Better bases are harder to degrade (fewer cows) but that was overtaken by a longer trail (OCI) and improved breeding (More cows) while continuing to reduce the cowboy staffing levels (TBN/Aniline #).    Marketing has been successful. We've fired most of the staff, cows breed line bunnies, the trail is ten times longer and we've convinced the boss his ranch is in better shape that it ever was.    That kids is just the cleaning side. The side few pay attention to.
