05 Bumper

I am in the process of piecing together the front end conversion and i was thinking about that bumper. The one on my truck is in need of getting replaced, i hit a deer (twice in 4 months), and it put a dent in it. So either way i am going to replace that bumper. Do those bumpers just bolt up or do you need other things to get it to work? I have been debating what i want to do, find the original bumper or just replace it with the newer one, so i need to know if it will just bolt on.

FYI Look on ebay there is a guy on there that sells those bumpers. I can't remember his name I'm sorry but he ships them painted as well. Thats where I got mine from.

So im assuming the bumper will bolt up to my frame? The cost of a 99-04 front bumper appears to be almost the same price as the 05+ by ebay standards. I may be going the full way i just wanted to make sure i could get around that whole header panel swap, it will save me some money.

The bumper will directly bolt on. You do not need the header panel. The newer grille can be zip tied on the bottom and the headlights some minor trimming off the header panel works just fine.
good luck,

Layson's right... but you'll need the mounts for the '05 bumper.

Just the brackets that support the bumper. Those should come with it and are the main frame for the bumper. It will use the same hardware (bolts and washers) to bolt on as your stock one.
