How in the world are you guys installing this thing with the front fascia on??

I can't get the vertical tabs to even get on the bolt(s) it is supposed to mount onto. I have tinkered with it and I am just not seeing a way....

 

search

 

When is the last time you've searched on here?? I've been searching for near an hour now (way before I posed this)! The search on here is horrible

 

Hmm.. might have saved some time by taking it off...lol

 

Did you pull the upper grille out? I jacked mine way up in the front, took out the upper grille and got er done haha

 

Sure did! The problem is definitely the vertical tabs :/ They're not going over the factory bolts to mount up.

 

Also, the top fitting (when mounted) is the "IN" and the bottom is the "OUT" right? Or does it not matter?

 

takes time and patience

 

That's how i did it. The tab was in the way so i bent it alittle and then mounted and bent it back.

took about 15sec

 

yup what i did!

 

Yeah, when you find me one specific to the ZZP HE then come back. Go ahead, I'll wait. If you weren't so ignorant you'd know, or maybe you do, the ZZP has 4 mounting tabs. It is quite the difference from all of the ones you've posted.

I've looked through all of those threads multiple times. Thanks anyway though.

And to the other guys, you mean the vertical tab that mounts on the existing bolt facing the rear of the vehicle right?

 

what are you having trouble with specifically?

 

The vertical tabs (NOT the ones that mount on the crash bar) are like impossible to get on the bolt and mount. It's like it's hitting something but there is nothing I can see. Maybe you can come over and help me tomorrow, or whenever really

 

Easy take off bumper install then reinstall bumper takes only 30 mins to a hour tops to do it all

 

take the front bumper off along with all tabs. Tqkes the front crash bar off, nd bend the tabs enough to where they will fit. they shouldnt be that far off. if they are then you might have gotton a redline h.e

 

youre making it more difficult than it has to be
like everyone said take the bumper off. takes 5 min top
