I am installing a sport bumper on my truck and need a picture of the filler panels or gravel deflectors installed. I picked up a set of nice NOS gravel deflctors and need to see them mounted so I know how to install them . Thanks for the help.

They bolt on top of the bumper brace's with the flange facing up. L.M.C has a good pic. of were they go on page 23 of their catalog.....you can view it online.

I saw these. There is a post here some where about the "gap" between the tail gate and bumper. Some peeps "mod" the brackets and some installed those filler panels. Would like to see a pic when you get those installed please.

I tucked my bumper in to about 1/2 inch of tailgate, real tight.

pcmcobra nice work. It really cleans it up. Did you just elongate the holes?

does the gate open?

I've done the same mod with my bumper brackets. The tailgate opens and shuts fine on mine. I do not have the trim pieces and they MIGHT hit the top of the bumper with the tailgate down.

pcmcobra · 12-14-2008, 02:29 PM

tailgate operates fine, does not even touch.
I drilled new holes for brackets.

smashingchuck · 12-14-2008, 02:34 PM

Thanks man. I haven't even begun to think about doing such crazy things as mounting bumpers on my ride. I think it was boat puller who said he couldn't open his gate after repositioning the rear bumper... wonder why?

Thanks for all the replies. I may just pull the bumper in and not install the filler panels. Do you just open up the holes on the frame or brackets?
