Finally got around to installing my Metalcloak front bumper.

Here’s a before of the giant piece of plastic that comes stock.

2012+ models have a vacuum canister mounted on the inside of the frame.

Here is the vacuum canister relocated up under the hood using a bracket from OR-Fab.

The Metalcloak bumper required the removal of the vacuum canister bracket and crossbar.

Here is the new bumper installed. A winch will fill the giant hole at some point. https://posse4x4.org/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif

Looks awesome Kevin!!

Did you have to extend the vacuum lines at all to get the pump all the way up under the hood? What a great place for it.

Um...what?

Just the wiring. The vacuum line comes down from up above so you end up removing a section of it.
