well, it is some of the tech infor the stealership use and other's they do charge by the hour at about $50-$80 per hour, I had one place that I will never use again they replace some things on my wifes Caravan, it was missing a bolt somewhere I said it was missing and if it not a problem go a head and replace it well I guess the person doing it went back and forth to find the right bolt to fit it a few dozen times until he found the right one but they do charge that much to repair <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" /> and they have alot of the right tools. well <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/butwiggle.gif" alt="" /> on them.

That's odd. only four nuts held my bumper assembly to frame? used take it off every weekend before playing. about 10 minutes. then I got lazy and kept it off. Oregon has no bumper law, so i won't get in trouble there.





4 bolts here........is that the case?

Well it's 4 nuts that hold the old bumper on took 15 minutes to remove.

Not to happy with the silver and black, on a gold Sporty, I'll see what i think in the morning, but I think I'll either paint it black, or go body colour!

Looks like I have a slightly twisted front frame, one bumper mount is .300" higher than the other, it dosn't sound much but when transfered over the 24 3/8" between mounts it makes one end of the bumper 1 1/8" higher than the other. IE: The gap between the headlight and the bumper is smaller on the pass side, a dead blow mallet solved the issue!

I wonder how It got that way, I've had the Sporty since day one, with no accidents!

And I lost the cable to my camera so I can't upload the pictures i took!

the bumper should have a little bit of adjustment in it if you leave the bolts a little loose and then tighten them once everything is in. 1-1/8"! that's a big difference. i know mine is bent too, but i've ABUSED it.
