I plan on painting and installing my '05 bumper/grill/headlights this weekend along with a couple other things. I have an '05 header panel too so no issues there.

My question is with installing the bumper though. It seems like I've read a couple of times that I'll need some type of bracket or something to mount it. Is that correct or should it mount straight to where the old bumper is?

If it does need a bracket, what is the part number? Thanx!

as long as you have the brackets on the new bumper your good.

i found that taking off the side brackets that bolt to the side of the frame rails and to the outer edges of the bumper until after having the bumper in place was the easiest.

This is all I have so I'm guessing I need to order some brackets. Anybody got the part number(s)?

4 bolts. Just reuse your bolts and nuts from the current bumper.

Yup. Grill and bumper will both be the same as the truck, but I'm painting the center insert of the Harley grill black.

No, rear bumper is still stock, and chrome. I plan on getting a rear bumper to match the front one, which will then be PTM. Just don't know when yet.

Got the '05 bumper and Harley grill painted. Gonna scuff it with a scotch-brite and clear it after lunch. I'll probably put it all on and do the wheels black and a few other things next weekend.
