Well Mrs. Apoc helped me load it in the back of the X (not where it's going to be installed) and it's going to sit there indefinitely. I have no way of removing the guard that's on the truck now and I have no way of installing the new one by myself either I'm trying to get Wendy to let us move to PA so we can be closer to Tom and Twitchy so I can be close to friends but she says it's not worth moving everything and buying a new house just to be closer to my Ford family (women, am I right ).

Found these pics on my phone from the trip back from Texas and thought I would post them before I post the new pics with the new front end:

Looks awesome! Do they make matching rear bumpers too? With wheel carrier?

No on the wheel carrier but they do make a rear bumper. The instructions are pathetic, there are 3 steps:

Remove old bumper
Install new bumper
Align bumper and tighten bolts

THAT'S ALL THERE IS!!! Plus there was a lot of damage to the powder coat in transport as well. I'm not thrilled with the way it was packaged on the tiny pallet or the way they tied it down. The band straps were loose and the bumper was flopping around on the pallet like a happy fish. I'm not really pleased with the fitment as far as how it lines up with the fenders either, it seems to be about 1/2 inch in to far on both sides.

I totally agree. '05 Bumper + Ranch Hand FTW. Get rid of that POS.
