Looks like I sheared the screws on my kraton V3 bumper... no idea on how to get them out.

If I order the rpm front bumper/skid plate do I still need the stock front bumper to hold the aluminium plate on?
Forgot about this thread... I snapped the one off my outcast for a 3rd time. For some reason, I thought the kraton bumper was the smaller one and ordered it. It doesn't even fit well with the M2C 7075 chassis. I had to start the screws with the bumper not locked into the chassis/bulkhead, then screw them in a bit at a time to suck the bumper in. Even then, it still stuck out... so I cut it off with a saw, then ground the sharp edges off.
Those white plastic cutting boards +elbow grease have solved a lot of problems for me over the years..Forgot about this thread... I snapped the one off my outcast for a 3rd time.

Then I did what I usually do when I can't buy something that does what I want... I cobble a mess together and hope. lol!
I made a bumper spacer bolted to the RPM bumper with a grommet on the back to touch the face of the bulkhead when compressed. I cut a recessed hole in the grommet so there's about 3/4" of compression before the screw sticks out. Hoping it doesn't push through the diff case! Kind of what I used to do on my
t-maxx's and savages. If it works, I might pretty it up a bit, or at least use a piece of black plastic so it doesn't stand out so much.
At rest on the left, compressed in the middle, pulled away on the right:
I have a black one as well, but it was late at night and I didn't want to annoy my wife by cutting a chunk out of it with the sawsall. I had this piece just laying on my bench, so I fiddled with it a bit.Those white plastic cutting boards +elbow grease have solved a lot of problems for me over the years..
