I got my All Pro Bumper back from the powder coater today.
The bumper finish looks OK. I learned that the sandblasting will not take out grinder marks so the bumper finish now has a little personality.
I now have the bracket for the winch solenoid welded in:
I also welded the backing plates for the light bar in place:
I contoured the bumper wings so they can no longer contact the sheet metal, added a brace and light tabs for mounting my fog lights:
The Winch has been reinstalled:
With the bumper back on the FJ you can see how I have modified the bumper wing so it no longer goes under the sheet metal:
This fix is critical. There is a brace that holds the outer fender sheet metal and is welded with 2 spot welds. . On my FJ this brace had been broken loose which I feel was caused by the bumper making contact with the sheet metal and pushing it up.
As I finish out this reinstall I will post additional entries.
