Anybody replace the bumper guards on winch bumper?

Yes once I have my 2024 in hand I will be making a video showing the install of the normal trim for the factory winch option bumpers

Thanks @PotterJLU for uploading your how-to video on YouTube. Super helpful, I found it here:

I did exactly what you described in the video to fix those ugly long factory crash cans from my 2024 factory winch-equipped JLUR. Your video saved me a ton of time and money not having to remove and reassemble the entire bumper just to cut those crash cans down to normal size. Looks way better now, like it should have been in the first place. Posting this reply so others in this forum can benefit from your tutorial.

IMPORTANT TIP: Tyler mentions this in his video, but just be REALLY careful with your cutting tool when cutting off the bumper extension. It's really easy to accidentally cut into the steel bumper as you're maneuvering your grinder/saw if your'e not careful (had a couple close calls as I was using my grinder to grind down and smooth out the rough edges of the cut crash cans). Because of the some of the angles of the bumper, the grinding disc stuck out just a bit far and tore right through the tarp that was protecting the steel bumper - thankfully not deep enough to cut into the finish of the steel bumper. Just be mindful of this when you cut the crash cans. You don't want to end up fixing your crash cans at the cost of messing up the finish of your bumper!

Thanks for sharing the video! I just couldn't stand the horrible looking crash cans!

Great video! Since I was not removing the outer part of the bumper and rivet gun would not fit I just used push rivets. It's rock solid. I used sawzsall and blade did not come close to bumper. Just cleaned up with hand file and brushed some rustoleum on.
