That should do the trick.

I just got through pulling the back bumper beam like we had talked about . I came down off of the bumper mount holes with some aluminum flat bar and bent it at a 90 degree angle to catch the bumper cover holes and bolted it right up on each side. Feels sturdy enough for what it is, better than the bumper cover flapping in the wind.

Sometime in August sounds good to me as long as it is after the 3rd I have inventory at work then. Been having to work long days to prep also up to six days a week right now but after then good to go.

well at the point you start to sacrifice speed for comfort..........
Soon your wife will want to use it to get groceries, the kids will want to borrow it to go to soccer practice, heck soon you will want to trade it in for a mini van.

AIRCONDITIONING............ who ever heard of such a thing.
