I only have 1 long 18mm wrench, is that enough to remove the bumper or will I need some additional tools?

You can do it with that but it isn’t going to be fun. I took a cheap wrench and cut it down to make it easier.

Did the install today, tightening the led bar was the worst of it. Took me about 3 hours including cleanup

I agree with the tightening of the light bar being the worst part. Looks awesome!!!

@Shifts_And_Grins (or anybody else), is there a video or instructions for the light bar install. I wanted to send that onto my installer.

GC34 · Dec 12, 2022

I used 3 YouTube videos for reference.
1. ADD TRX bumper removal
2. Shifts and grins video with the rebel to know where the bracket/bar goes
3. M&R 40" led for TRX for the full bumper disassembly.
Basically the bumper harness has to be unclipped and pretty much take off ALL the screws/bolts to be able to install the led bar. As Shifts mentioned you gotta cut the middle plastic section. It is rather obvious once you see where it all goes. Hope this helps.

That's awesome- thanks for the help!

This is what I sent my installer:

Perfect. I have some raw video to put a video together but have been insanely busy and I suck at editing video. If the installer has any questions, they can call my cell. If I don't answer, have them leave a message and I'll get back to them ASAP. 480-239-3148 is my cell.

I’ll pass along the cell. If there are written instructions I could pass along, I’m sure that would be helpful too.

I finally got a video put together. It is not great and not my strong suit but I will work on my video skills and get better.

Here’s my truck with the Diode Dynamics Amber Light Bar using @Shifts_And_Grins bracket (along with a few more lights). Quality part by a forum vender!
