When I read the title on this, I started smiling. I did the exact same thing a few years ago and posted almost the exact same words on the old forum. Your tranny is a top loader, so you will need to either drop it or peel back the carpet and there is a section of the tranny hump in the floor...
Work was called off due to snow today, so I got the bumper done, gave it a quick rattle can paint job and got it on the truck so it is driveable. I think I will do a herculiner paint job later on. Sorry the picture isn't the greatest, I was in a hurry and took it with my phone. Now it is time...
I made a little more progress over the weekend, I got the old bumper off, cut the hole in the grill wall below the drivers side headlight. I petty much got the new bumper fabricated. It isn't really heavy and probably wouldn't be much good in a wreck, but it does meet the air intake...

I wish someone had told my wife that. I have about 7 gallons of gas in my rear tank right now. She saw the green pump handle, drove up to it, grabbed the black pump and started pumping away. Luckily she noticed and then filled the front take with #2. Looks like I get to syphon it out now...
So to make a long story short. I was rearended by a Jaguar a couple of months ago at a stop light and it pushed me into a semi. So I now need to replace both bumpers...
I have been doing quite a bit of research on a new intake, and would like the following:
1. Open Element
2. Pull...
