LoD Front Bumper

[Sharkey]

Anyone know offhand what bolts, spacers, etc should come with a LoD Midwidth Bumper?

I'll check with LoD when I get to my computer but here is the condition of the shit I just received from Northridge. Unbelievable...five bolts, one small spacer, and two washers in a knotted FedEx plastic bag. Who knows what is missing.

AYFKM?

Why did you order anything from NR4x4, in the first place?

I have the mid width bumper and it came with 8 bolts/washers/nuts and 4 plates for mounting. I also purchased the front skid plate and they came with 6 bolts and one nut welded to a piece of metal for the skid. In addition I purchased 8 flat and lock washers for my install.

have you contacted Chris at LOD? He was really helpful last I talked to him.

Sucks it was received this way. Goes to show FedEx is not that gentle with heavy items.

I was unaware that LōD made a Prius bumper. ;p

I would blame Fed Ex, not Northridge or LOD.

This is clearly a Fed Ex issue. They at least made the effort to collect the hardware that fell out. USPS would have thrown the bolts in the trash... :doh:

Had a similar issue with FedEx a few weeks ago, I was missing ALL my mounting hardware. I had to call the manufacture and have them send out more.

Had the same problem with fed ex when I ordered my lift the box was thrashed but luckily everything was there

Sent from my DROID RAZR using WAYALIFE mobile app

I didn't, but unfortunately I sent Meanst there for his stuff. Never again. There has been problems with every one of his orders. Bumpers, lift, etc.

I think it's more of a manufacturer/vendor issue then the shipping company. I would like to see most of you guys lug these boxes are and move them without damaging them. If its packed properly the. There shouldn't be an issue.

I'm blame FedEx for the way it arrived. I blame NR for the way it was shipped. Is it that hard to put all of the hardware in a real bag and tape it to the inside of the bumper?

Thanks for the heads up. We are definitely missing most of the hardware then. F--K!!!!!!!

We will probably call Chris. Not his fault, but I know he will make it right. Not much point in calling NR because every call results in more excuses, more charges, and more BS.

 

[Berzerker]

Man that sucks. Hope you get it all straightened out.

Chris is a stand up guy. Always very nice and helpful when you get him on the phone.

Agreed. When I called LoD about NR's F-up on the rear bumper and lights he was great.

 

[Sharkey]

Yep, missing two spacers, several bolts, washers and nuts. Sweet! :nah:

One more thing. All of the bolts a grade 5. Anyone of you bolt gurus out there see a problem with using a grade 5 bolt on a bumper and winch plate?

I wouldn't consider myself a guru, far from it. But after a bit of research I landed on these two pretty good articles:

Grade 5 Bolt Specs: http://www.ehow.com/list_7524130_grade-5-bolt-specifications.html?dmsp=manual

SAE Bolt Specs: http://www.ehow.com/info_7876397_sae-bolt-specifications.html?dmsp=manual

Judging by this, grade 5 is fine as for your application, the fasteners do not need to be heat resistant. Knowing myself, I'm might be tempted to spend a few bucks on the best fasteners I can find just cause, but its probably not necessary.

When I received my front, rear bumper with tire carrier and sliders from LOD the mounting hardwared was taped to the parts with some industrial packing tape. They did come in the same type of container and looked not quite as rough.
