had this same issue tightened the bolt till it was tight looked down and still had a ways to go... I pulled the bolt to see if it was cross threading, it wasnt so I just kept racheting it till it went in.. no problems

Here is a picture of mine. I have had it on for a couple of months now and love it. Still saving for the winch though. I did not have any trouble with instalation.

Man this bumper is now on my wish list. I was looking at the Olympic boa bumper but this thing is so much beefier looking.

Does anybody rocking this beast know about how much it weighs?
