Thanks I appreciate it!

All I know is that Ford says the kit has everything needed for install with the sensors. Its literally on the kits description. @Rumbloki - Do you have the part numbers that you had to order? I came from a capable bumper too.

Well this turned into the proverbial S$*tshow. The dealer is also saying the sensors dont really attach right on the outer edges so they are not flush with the bumper... and on top of that they ran the calibration that way. Im just sitting here shaking my head. Never do business with them...

Yeah In hindsite I should have just went this route.... I decided to be lazy as I have surgery in a week and wanted to get this all done before that.

LOL! Yeah I havent been able to convince myself of - no doors =)

Thanks I appreciate the time and help! Yeah but I like to do stuff by the book when it comes to safety. I cant talk myself out of it.

The bumper doesnt come assembled it was like in 15 boxes.

While I dont disagree they need to do a post install sensor calibration and airbag calibration (as noted in the bumper manual) and I realized I didnt have a torque wrench I could use. So I figured I would just shell out for them to do it all. I did the rest of my work =) Do you have a link to...

Hey all! I was able to get a new Mod bumper from Ford parts directly. I took it to my local dealer to get it installed. The dealer is saying it didnt come with the appropriate hardware for the install and that it needs 24x Nut-Blindd Anchors at the cost of 6$ apiece. (Part: W700525 S450) I...

Congrats - thats a heck of a deal you got there.

Parts about 1000-2000 The bumper will be about 3-5 hours install work (based on having my bumper replaced) There will need to be airbag calibration and sensor calibration likely 1500-2000$ (This may be less if the claim is insurance) So my guess is ~4-5000$.

Hey man, I appreciate you and I are asking similar questions. But chill, no-one needs the snark above. @Snacktime is sharing his knowledge freely, He does so often and on various topics in great detail that takes time and energy to communicate. (You should see his suspension thread!) Take...

Thanks and all I can say is man Im sorry that happened. And that is actually a good lesson. I would never have thought that you dropping a tire lightly on that would have resulted in the accident shown. I will defiantly be more mindful of my front balance after watching this.

Try as I might.... I cannot figure out how that physically happened. The position and angle are so strange. I have to ask - What happened?

I havent done anything dumb yet. That said... Oh I can not wait to!!!!!!!!

Yeah I agree, but Im really just trying to understand the WHY? I'll like knowing how stuff works especially when there is danger involved. And as @Snacktime is broadly knowledgeable and mechanically inclinedI figured I would learn something from the questioning.

I disagree with nothing you said. What I was really thinking of was specifially adding a "fuse" in between two straps/or kenetic ropes. Reason: With the breaking point being the rope it will break at the weakest part across its span. If you use a "fuse" you can then more tighly control the...

Thanks - Do you have a link? I would love to read what they have published.

Can you expand on your logic behind that? At face value it seems like making a "Fuse" link would be beneficial for two reasons: 1. Define a point that you know mostly likely will break so you can apply dampening as appropriate near that point 2. Lower the over all recover cost as a shackle is...

Congrats sir! Making it your own is fun so the enjoyment is just starting!
