i ran into a bit off trouble with my freaking bumper the 4 bolts that holds it on in the front will not come off the flat roundish bolt part in the front spins with the nut and i can not grip it with anything so i am going to have to use my buddy's drill tomorrow to drill them out and just replace them with new ones.

little trick for those bumper bolts (I had the same issue) put a piece of 2x4 across em and lean hard into it with your knees to keep pressure on the heads while you loosen the nut worked perfect for me.

Thank you, I been thinking on taking on the big job of painting the whole truck black but debating on if i should attempt it or not. maybe two tone color it below the trim i would like to have rhino lined and between the trim and top line in the truck near the door handles would be gun metal silver and the rest up black
