I got tired of looking at the gap in the front bumper. Most of you are familiar with what I’m talking about, the bracket breaks that hold the ends of the headlight in tight where it joins the fender under the headlight. That part that breaks is plastic welded in the bumper and isn’t replaceable (from what I’ve seen). So I decided to make some aluminum repair brackets. The wire tie mod isn’t my style. So here’s what I did. No more gap.








Gapless.

Nice job!

U lift bruh?!?

Very random but I noticed you have an affinity for fitness, no **** or troll might I add, but I’ve been stoked about hitting a 245 flat bench PR the other day. I don’t bench much due to weak wrists and shoulder but I tried for giggles a few weeks back and threw up 225. Decided to set a goal of 3 plates within a year with just a regular regimen.

Nice mod btw

Yes. (That bar, my kids use it...I rarely work out at home here lately) I work out 4-5 days a week, most of the time, twice a day. Most benching I do is 225 for 15+ reps. I did do 315 for three reps but I don’t try and do heavy that much anymore. I’ve figured out that if I go slow, control it and squeeze at the end of the range, it works pretty well. Also figured out don’t cheat myself on partial range movements unless I’m trying to focus on something in particular. And I work legs with every workout. That had sped my metabolism up like crazy. I eat like total crap (everything I want) and my veins are starting to pop pretty good. More than they ever have in my whole life.

Thx btw.

Cool beans. I stay in the gym(at least 5 days/wk)with mostly full body workouts to burn off the crap I’ve consumed throughout the day, might go here in a few actually. Start off with a 2 mile run to maintain the cardio then hit the weights for a bit. Never had a goal besides not getting fat until I hit that PR recently. Best prior was 225 in HS and now 20 yrs later at it again.

I ordered some new oem foglights, so when I put those in, I'll have the bumper off. I can take more pics if need be if anyone wants to do this.

 

[kurazy kracka]

Is that plastic that it's screwed into strong enough that it won't crack/break when you pop the bumper back off?

I’d say it is. I’ve pulled the bumper 3 or more times since I did this. I did this a few weeks ago and just remembered to post pics for you guys yesterday.

 

[biglinux]

Make me some ill buy them. inbox me

 

[Frisky Medic]

X2 I'd buy some as well.

 

[Kfxguy]

Just so you guys know, you have to grind a little on your plastic bracket that snaps into the fender. Those brackets are still available in case you ever want to change them but the little grinding you have to do will not affect anything if you ever change numbers to one without broken tabs. I’ll post pics of what needs to be grinded, maybe Sunday. And I’ll make you guys some brackets. I’m out of town till Sunday.

 

[Conman]

I’d take a set of those as well if your interested in making/ selling them.....please and thanks for the post.

You are awesome

So the aluminum bracket is the new female slot (the piece that breaks) for the plastic male tab? Yes, more pics would be extremely helpful.
I tried the tie wrap trick to no avail. I need something better to close up that seam.
Thanks.

Yes it takes the place of the little “bar” of plastic that breaks off.

Ok. I’ll see how much time I have Sunday to make a few sets.

Dude, this is awesome! I’ll take some!

Also, sell the plans to like gtog8.com or something. Every goat owner will want some.

OK, got it. Is it made from 1/8" flat bar? Thanks!
