It was an easy swap- had to drill out 2 of the 8 mount holes with a 1/2 bit, but otherwise no issues.
Thought this might help some people who couldn’t find any info if it would work.

Great job ; what is the skull decal ?I saw an earlier post that showed an aftermarket JK front bumper on a JL Sport- so I took the chance and got a great deal on a JK 10a steel front bumper and put it on today.

Nice! How much are those 10a bumpers going for these days? I'd love to snag one for my JK, if I could find it for the right price.

Excuse my ignorance but what does the 10A refer to? Any idea what year your bumper was from?
I might have a chance to grab a 2015 Rubi one not sure if it would work though.

10th Anniversary Rubicon. It was the model that introduced the current steel front Rubicon bumper design with removable end caps.

Does anyone know if an aftermarket JK bumper will bolt up to a JL?

I just installed a DV8 FS-18 JK front bumper on my JL, I ordered the adapter brackets but didn't need to use them, the JK bumper fit fine and I didn't even need to drill out the holes, I will need to cut notches in the lower piece that comes with the bumper to clear the frame but it fits great.

Do you know if the jl LED fog lights will mount to this bumper or if there is an adapter for it?

Mine did, but I already had an adapter for regular JK fog lights to be put in the 10a/Hard Rock bumper. The mounting tabs need to be clipped on one side to make it fit. The adapters look like these.
Look at this on eBay
