I was wondering if anyone knows if the front and rear bumpers are
loaded? can I just loosen up the bolt and remove it or is it gonna
release a spring and take my legs off? If anyone has an idea of how to
do this I would greatly appreciate the assistance. Thank you

John,
In my experience, most of the bolts will break when you remove them. Good time to install polished stainless bolts.

Watch it though when you pull one side off it pivots and can scratch you paint on the otherside, As it did mine I still cant get over it, My coach now boasts three scratches!
My Daughters nickname for me is Bubble boy saying my coach should
should be kept in a bubble.

That is where he was as of 10 minutes ago. He better still be around later or I'll have to sleep in my car tonight.

I have not seen anyone running around here with a camera.
The brake installation is going very slowly. I left at 10:30 last night and they were still working on it. I was just over there An they are progressing slowly. Yesterday there was lots of filing etc. to get the part to fit perfectly. When they get ti done it will be installed correctly. It looks like a great kit.
