Does anybody know how the top pad on the 99+ attaches to the bumper??pictures would help?

 

anyone??

 

Theres 12... I dont know what theyre called, but theyre these pins that go through the metal part of the bumper, into the bottom side of the top pad.

Assuming your original bumper is still intact, the best way to go about getting them out is using some pliers and attacking from underneath. If you need new ones, they run about $5 each from the dealer.

And if your new top pad is aftermarket, expect it to fit like crap. AMHIK

Mine is now attached by 12 zinc plated carriage bolts.

 

oh dear.. yes its aftermarket and no i do not have any factory clips or pins or anything.. so whats its like up to me to make up my own way of mounting it??? boo

 

anybody got any pictures of what the mounting clips look lik e??

 

ill try to take some pics of mine tomorrow

your best bet is doing any work with the whole bumper off of the truck

 

I just picked up a complete aftermarket bumper today. I will take pictures of it too...I have to take the top pad off to have it painted.
