Opinions on Potential Hybrid Mods ...

How bout just wait till it's on and modify at that point. Takes literally 3 minutes to install the rear bumper.

Well, if I need to lower my exhaust tips I'd rather get that done before I swap bumpers only to find out I have to swap back twice more just to get the exhaust lowered first.

Btw, does it really take 3 minutes ... I was worried about mucking up the reverse sensors.

I used my original sensors. Took my paint body shop guy way more then 3 minutes though...

Felix, do you know if they're easy/hard to take off the old bumper and reattach to the new?

And do you still have your truck to measure for me?

well, if you measure with good faith, get the bumper, and find out that measurement was off, then you just wasted time and more money. Sit patient until it gets there and then worry about it.

Took me 2 minutes to yank the ESV bumper off. 2 7mm screws in the rear fenders, 2 10mm (IIRC) under the truck, and 4 plastic grommets along where the liftgate closes. Wallah.

What about them sensors?

 

[THE YETI]

oops, sorry, i unplugged the entire harness and took the bumper with the sensors attached.

 

[soulsea]

But I won't be able to do that with my new bumper ... so I probably shouldn't tackle removing and reattaching my sensors myself?

 

[THE YETI]

im pretty sure the sensors sorta snap into the bumper. I'd check, but I'm busy clipping my toenails and watching the news.

I'm pretty sure those sensors just snap in, serge. Shouldn't be a big deal.
