Final resting place

[handy1]

Hey how far is Griffin, Ga from Auburn, Al ?

About two hours, 85 north to lagrange, the 109 east to Greenville, the 362 east to Griffin and you are here. Nice, easy ride!

[HellBelly]

Well the wife shafted me on the parts pickup (bumpers).

Jonathan took his time to pull the bumpers for me and was ready to meet my wife at Atlanta Speedway and my wife bails and started driving home.... then calls me when she knew she was far enough away for anything to be done about it. I understand she was tired after a long weekend of travel, but DANG!!

I'm pissed, still pissed... I screamed and yelled over the phone and all round blew a freaking gasket...

So the SMOKING deal Jonathan was able to hook me up with is about to get expensive. Anybody going near Griffin GA anytime soon and heading towards Dallas, TX?

If not... I guess i'll have to pay Jonathan to wrap them up in card board and take them to a grey hound station.... UGGGHH!!

Thanks!!! Is this a secret salvage yard? Wouldn't mind poking around there a bit.

Scott,
If the mounts are removed from the bumpers, they
can go UPS or FedEx ground for $35-$45.

I shipped one with mounts, from Iowa to Michigan, for about $42 using Fed Ex.

Just cardboard.

[HellBelly]

What can i say here... Jonathan is a stand up guy! He is going to wrap them up for me and i'm going send him some UPS labels. that on top of spending 3 hours on the ground pulling them for me...... Loss for words.

THANK YOU!!!

[handy1]

You got it man!!! Love the site, been a huge help on the how to stuff! Great group on here, glad to be able to help!

Scott,

When they get there, you so need to put them in her side of the bed before she gets there.

I'm already looking into the front bumper (green truck) and rear bumper (orange truck). I want them for my truck. Chrome front and back driver quality would look great. Can't get the user to respond either with the yard name or number etc.. etc... I'm heading to Georgia Wednesday so it's a perfect opportunity!!!

Wish I would have known you were heading out this way, Scott.
I'm pretty close, and I owe you a 12 pack at the very least for all the time and advice you've given me.
I'll be passing through Dallas mid-May, so if anything comes up between now and then, I'd be more than glad to haul it.

On your way through Dallas get a hold of me before you leave and we'll meet for lunch/dinner, you can come by here and look at my mess.

Update: Bumpers are HERE!!

The box that has the rear bumper brackets is MIA right now, hopefully it will show up tomorrow. Can't install my rear bumper without those brackets. I did remove the one i'm putting on the truck. I'm going to try and fix the other one as well for my crew cab.

Here is a picture of the front bumper installed. I took a rubber mallet to the bends it had on the top and it came out pretty good!

Pictures of the rear bumpers! I Don't think a rubber mallet is going to fix the bent one.. lol

I'm pretty excited and I've forgotten about being mad at my wife. LOL

OMG i'm so doing this!

Hide the rubber mallet first.

LOL!!! Scott better take your advice on
the mallet or he'll "forget" a lot more than just being upset
at his wife.....

I'm surprised you can pound out the bends with a rubber mallet. I had a bent bumper that I tried to straighten with an assortment of hammers, including a small sledgehammer, and nothing worked.

Have you ever met Scott?.... He could probably get the same results
with a tack hammer. Don't mess with those North Texans!
