Modular bumper install on 21-23 Tremor

[Cblaxx19]

Man, i would its only 3.5 hrs drive, but I plan on painting it anyway- lower portion ingot silver to match the skid plate, and the hoop anthracite grey. I'll be painting the wings avalanche to match the body color a bit (since these dont have darker rear bumpers i figured throwing a little body color on the front will level things out. also decided to go with the OEM fogs so there wont be any visibility through to the tires/fender wells.

I’ve gone back and forth on whether to color match or not. I was thinking of doing the top of the center hoop color matched.

This was AI generated so it’s not a perfect match but you get the idea.

that looks pretty decent. basically the look i want is a simulated OEM winch bumper so i want it to be metal-looking so that part im going to do anthracite. but ive seen raptors with color matched bumpers with the wings painted too and they look pretty sharp, but also detracts from the mean look im going for. can you ask AI to change to lead foot on the wings to see how that looks?

Hey @Jax_Tremor ,
Apologies for the delay, it’s been busy at work right now, (work load and expanding my shop) so I have not had a chance to get down to my parts department for a quote.
Bear with me a bit and I can get you the info and pricing.

If you wanted to break up your trip down to @Cblaxx19 you could always stop by here….im about half way to him LOL
Or both of you guys just meet up here.

I'd make a trek out to the coast for shenanigans

Thanks man, but I went ahead and found every part I need and ordered them. I want to get this project going sooner than later. Thank you though.

Here’s my trick to remove the gap between the bumper and lower grille valance…

Here’s my trick to remove the gap between the bumper and lower grille valance…

is that already trimmed, sanded, bondo'd, etc?

 

[Jax_Tremor]

About to be ….

Here’s the template… I’m willing to ship for free to anyone who wants a perfect fit.

Is that a 2024+ valance that you’re mating to the grill and bumper? Or the 2023 valance you’re cutting to shape to the bumper?
Need a little more context.
I have a paint/body guy on my team that could finish that could possibly finish it off.

It’s a ‘23 valance. I’m ’attempting’ to paint myself. Wish you were closer! I’d have them do it.

Looking good!

I got the first half of my modular bracket system for the modular bumper in today. (Ignore all the bugs, had some highway trips recently and haven’t been able to do a wash )

I’m waiting on the billet machined component to come in.

My concept is that I have the sturdy base plate with swappable machined mounting plates.

The machined piece shown can accommodate individual pods or a 30” light bar.

I wanted something nicer than the currently available sheet metal options.

That’s pretty cool. I’ve been doing research on the super slim LED light bars, but I can’t find anything. That is a reasonable price.

Painted and assembled. Just waiting on fog lights

The plastic black trim on the lower ends, does it hide anything? feel you get a little more clearance in front of the tire.
And looks a little more mean with it off?

It helps hide the crash bar. You can make out the corner of it poking out if you plan on cutting/removing the crash bar then you can leave it off. But there are a couple holes in the wing that would be left open

Finally got mine on!
