Well, if you have never removed the bumper before then I would say about 10-15 minutes for the bumper, another 15 minutes figuring out where all the bolts, screws, and grommets are all located for the entire VFAD system, and another 10-15 minutes to reassemble.

We already did, we're just going to improve on it. Of course, we are not going to sell this to anyone, it's our own special custom project.

And the shop did not pay for the damage? Also, I've had my lugs torqued to ridiculous specs before, yet the studs didn't break. Must have been on there tight!!!

just so you guys know - lug's are only supposed to be torque'd to 108lbs torque.

Rob & Nik: I say we meet up at Dozer's house to do the install. True it's a small lot but We do have a good amount of tools at our disposal there - I'll text both of you the details when i see him in like 15 minutes...
