I've been very impressed with the TR sliders and front bumper I've seen.

CUPGT had an RTE and I'm 99% sure it was bolt on to the stock mounts. Only the rear quarters needed trimming for clearance.
I'll see if I can find my instructions. Had pictures in the instructions showing what all had to be cut. They had to be cut or bumper wouldn't have even begun to be close enough to body.

My TR rear bumper required grinding down of the frame horn welds and trimming of the rear fender a little below the black trim.

the only bad thing about the TF bumpers is the power coating sucks, it is so thin you can peel it with you finger nail. But i figured they are going to be painted with bed liner at some point.

Powdercoating on a truck that actually sees trails is a waste as far as I'm concerned. PC simply will not hold up against rocks and such. And once you get that first chip in the PC and the moisture gets underneath.......you might as well strip the whole bumper and rattle can it because you'll never get any touch up to match the color/thickness of the PC.
