[@jamesgrant1713]

Bro ....thats the first conversion that I really liked, good job brother....,

[@samswildgarage8805]

thanks! i plan on doing a 4th gen steering wheel when i can find a good deal on one

[@RedRabbitOfficial]

Great detailed video. Bumper looks awesome.

[@samswildgarage8805]

Thanks man. I have a bunch more content I just have to motivate myself to sit down and edit

[@drewstanley3298]

Hey there, need a tad bit of help, I've watched this four or more times. I've made the cut to the plastic but gaps are massive on the corners. Do you have close up of the exact cut area or measurements? I don't want to have to replace the whole thing.

[@samswildgarage8805]

i dont know how i would send it to you it's not going to line up perfect but you should be able to get it close

[@troycollins4051]

I'm doing 4th Gen on a 2nd Gen. Short wheel base 4x4. It's murdered out. With topper.

[@samswildgarage8805]

bit more work to do on a second gen

[@dumwaytoniegaming1089]

I need list of everything u brought to put the bumper i need know where u got bumper n anything else I might need

[@samswildgarage8805]

just bought a complete bumper from a 2015 ram 3500 with all the guts in it because the guy was putting a moose bumper on all i did was swap the 4 bolt brackets from my 2004 bumper to the 2015

[@IronTitanProductions]

Hey Sam- great video. I will be doing this here this weekend, curious if the 4th gen bolts up to the 3rd gen brackets/factory mounts... wasn't super clear in the video as it was already on. Thanks much!

[@samswildgarage8805]

Yes the third Gen mounts fit on the fourth Gen bumper you just have to knock out the one bolt on the fourth Gen bumper that I said in the video

[@IronTitanProductions]

@@samswildgarage8805 fantastic, thank you for the confirmation

[@Cob1Ton905]

The bottom of 4th gen is flat did you cut and bend it or can you show pics of bottom bumper to 3rd gen mount

[@samswildgarage8805]

@@Cob1Ton905 I did'nt cut anything on the fourth gen bumper. just removed the one stud shown in video

[@samswildgarage8805]

post a picture of your bumper. if its from a 1500 this video wont help you

[@antoneyjemison925]

Cut 2"s of the plastc trim on top of the bumper from the bottom. It will make it fit about wheres he's at. Cut it before you take that piece of the older bumper off.

[@El_diablito95x]

Would this be the same for the 1500?

[@samswildgarage8805]

I’m not sure if the mounts are the same on a 1500 But the 4th Gen 1500 bumper is definitely different

[@edgarh252]

I found a similar bumper off a 5th gen would you happen to know if it’s the same thing? The one I found doesn’t have fog lights but im sure I could change the bezel to fog lights.

[@samswildgarage8805]

i dont know if a fifth gen will fit. this if from a fourth gen

[@kamaehuyoshida7106]

I have the same exact truck 3500 everything same color. Will I be able to use a 2010 Ram 2500 to 3500 front bumper?

[@samswildgarage8805]

Yes

[@brandonchampagne7921]

Would this work I have a 2005 1500 ram what model bumper would work 100% , will the 4rth gen 2500/3500 would work or a 1500 or is it just completely different for the 1500 and won’t fit ?

[@samswildgarage8805]

You would need a 2500 or 3500 bumper with all the guts inside it

[@JohnBrown-ig5nc]

@@samswildgarage8805 so a fourth-gen 1500 bumper won't fit a third-gen 1500? If not, why? I'm confused

Where did you order the 4th gen bumper from?

[@samswildgarage8805]

craigslist

[@127rider]

finaly finished the swap on mine, kinda funny i have the exact same truck and color haha 3500 cummins high output 03, the longest part was getting the bumper brackets and fog lights/bracket etc, other than the upper molding it is pretty much bolt on ! the only issues is my LED fog bulbs out of my 2003 sport bumper doesnt fit, the led bulbs are kinda bigger my halogen ones fits well tho

[@samswildgarage8805]

i bought the bumper complete also i modified my 3rd gen fog light bulbs to fit nothing a good sander couldnt fix

[@127rider]

@@samswildgarage8805 My 4th gen fogs came with stock halogen so when i found my led's didnt fit i kinda told myself *huh later im done for now* haha i kinda thought i would have to grind some material but now i surely know what to do, thanks for the videos and answers, next is trying to find a 4th gen center consol

[@tonitorres2468]

Hi. Did you use the same brackets From your 3th gen bumper? Or you get aftermarket brackets?

[@samswildgarage8805]

I used the brackets and tow hooks from the third Gen bumper

[@1.slowram148]

so i can use my 3rd gen brackets?

[@samswildgarage8805]

yes! as long as the guts are still in the 4th gen bumper

[@RedditStorytimeTTV]

Is it required to cut the plastic cause I’m about to install a fourth gen bumper but it’s different from yours

[@samswildgarage8805]

Not required but you’ll want to use it to match up with your headlights

[@santoslabastida5843]

What did you use to cut it

[@ramonquiroz7158]

Does this work for a gas truck ?

[@samswildgarage8805]

Yes but I dont know if it will work if you have a sport bumper
