I've got a JLUR, but the only option it didn't have was the steel bumpers. As my way of turning lemons into lemonade, the outcome of a 5 car wreck I was in 10 days after picking up is steel bumpers for free and free install (thanks to the offender's insurance).
Oh that's beast! Yes, that steel bumper should be able to bolt right on with no issues! You got a steal, especially with those LED fogs included! :like:

Glad you're okay!

Yup..............I had given up hope...............but then this bright light shined on an ad for these. Glad I beat everyone to the punch. Pics will be up once they are on. Now to find someone who can get me cost on the winch mounting kit, fairlead adapter and a nice winch to boot.

Details on wiring and power?
Used the ARB fridge wiring kit and ran the wire from the 40A aux 2 wire (green w/pink stripe) under the dash at the passenger side kick panel, under the carpet, along the center console and under the back seat to the driver's side rear wheel well area. Then I drilled a 1-1/8" hole into the plastic trim covering the seat belt mechanism and mounted the ARB receptacle. It's out of the way, and the cord is in the perfect position to power the fridge and not get pinched in the slide.

Installed a steel front bumper and skid plate I bought from Person500 on the sale section of the forum. He gave me a great deal on the bumper and fog lights. super easy to install, my only question is if there is a part number or anywhere I can buy this one piece I highlighted in the last picture? (Picture I stole from AV8R, thanks). If not I don't think it's a huge deal to just leave that section open.

Today I installed a JL specific Fox Steering Stabilizer to help w/ those little minor wiggles from running 37's with my OCD. Got it from Offroad Warehouse who had a bunch in stock (many others are out of stock)

If you are planning on getting a winch, that piece will have to be removed anyway, Maximus 3 has some really nice aluminum filler pieces for that space if you do get a Warn winch. Bumper looks great btw!

Niceee! Could you let me know if you experience any flickering from your LED fogs? It may be hard to see at first, but if you have a flicker, you will notice it more at night. I would appreciate the information! :like:

I definitely noticed a flicker but I haven't really driven it much at night so it hasn't bothered me too much yet. Hopefully it wont drive me too crazy!

Lol! It doesn't bother me as much..however, I'm still trying to figure out if the flicker will "shorten" the life of the LEDs. If it does, then ye, I'mma have to get it resolved pretty quickly. I have a "date" with my dealership this Saturday to see if them jokahs can program my PCM to accept the LEDs. I'll let you know if it fixes the situation and how much I paid!

Not yet, I just installed the tires today. I am about to drive home from the shop to see just how bad it is. I made a couple trips to machine shop for other cars we are working on and surprisingly didn't notice a huge difference over the 37's I had prior. I'm sure once I get on the freeway on the way home or tomorrow morning I will notice the difference.
I do plan on re-gearing in the near future, but first I need to make room for the 40's at full flex. Until the temperatures drop low enough in Houston to go wheeling/camping I'm not really in a rush to re-gear(I'm sure I can live with it on our flat roads.)
Looks good man. I need to get down there soon and check out your work.

I've got one sitting in my garage closet. I guarantee there's someone in your area that has a take off when they installed a winch that would give it to you for free.
