With my bumper I ended up just putting back on the brackets for the rear bumper because they will give me a place for my handyman and they will also keep my rear end off the ground for the most part, plus they won't act as a big plow like a bumper would. This past weekend I also Took apart my hubs and cleaned them out because they weren't turning very well and one of my tire studs was also broken so i replace that. I have 1 1/2 weeks until my engine is supposed to be done and then I should be able to drop that in over a couple of days and I will be ready to roll!
