Sunday I wanted to install some simple parts, calm my nerves, and get some small wins under my belt.
Got some good progress on the fuel system/vapor lines. Still need some hose clamps and the vent hose line I have is for a different year as it's way too short so I need to get a new longer one to install and finish up the install.
If anyone knows where to get nice hose clamps let me know - looking for something better than generic worm-gear clamps.
Then I wanted to get the bumper brackets installed and I ran into an issue with the rear bumper brackets. Since I installed a shackle flip the bracket on the outside of the frame rail blocks the rear-most bolt hole that should hold the bracket in place.
So I notice on my bracket theres an undrilled hole that would allow a second locating bolt to go through the bracket and frame. I got them drilled out and once I mount the rear bumper and make sure the angle is correct, I'll mark the frame and drill it as well.
You can see the 2nd hole is drilled on the top bracket in the pic below:
