Please post a side view of the new bumper on the truck.
Still Have the hood scoops?

good looking truck, its always nice to buy a vehicle where maintenance was documented so well. That is a huge bumper, is it mounted any more solidly than the stocker?

Here's as close to a side view as I have right now

The scoops are still on there. I'd like to get rid of them but I'm worried about the paint getting messed up when they come off. Anyone have experience with that? Ideas?

The mounting brackets mount to the 4 tow hook bolts on each side, then there are 4 more per side to the bumper. Its pretty solid, if I give it a good tug the whole truck rocks

Here's a couple shots of my trailer with my old WJ. Haven't found time or a need to go pick up the trailer since I bought the GM. I'll get er out camping this summer though:

I know with the Silverado 1500HD you can swap the HD version (taller profile) hood and they aren't stupid expensive. Not sure if that works on the GMC's but it would look good with the bumper. You're still in for paint if you do that though unless you can find a salvage hood in the right color.

Yeah the 2500HD fits 1500 models, as well as 00-06 Tahoe, Suburban, and with minor trimming Sierra and Yukon.

Monofiliment line "Fishing line" to cut the mounting tape, then use 3M automotive adhesive remover.
I de-badged my whole truck when I bought it and it worked great.
Sorry to say those hood scoops take away from a cool truck. " My opinion only"

[MagnutsWJ]

No need to say sorry about that, I agree. There were on when I bought it. I might try that method once it warms up around here

Can I ask a dumb question?...what is a 1500 HD? The only "HD" versions I have seen are 2500? (Not being argumentative or a smart-a**...just curious?) Thanks!
