Other than slightly crushed my finger when I tried to install my bumper, I successfully installed my bumper (with a little helps from 4 wheel Parts), my winch and may additional fog lights.
Day 1, my bumper came in on Friday. the outside packaging was 50% damage, but the foam and bubble wrap kept everything protected. Follow the various youtube tutorial on how to remove the plastic bumper and the LED Fog Lights, I got everything off ok. Just when I thought mounting the Crawler bumper should be easy. The 8 screws are not 100% align. I eventually Crushed my finger when I tried to catch the bumper when It dropped. Lesson learned.
1> wear glove
I managed to keep 4 bolts in place to keep the bumper on, but give up the idea to finish it up myself. Went to 4 Wheel Parts and asked for help. Thanks to their helps, the put it on in no time, and I was told the had to adjust the mounting bracket a tiny bit to fit it in. (I had no idea you can do that...). I was prepared to pay, and the guy did I for free, so in return, I bought the winch and the fog lights from him. (Fri-Night)
With some helps and good info from here, I managed to installed the 2 fog lights using Aux 3 to turn them on/off. Overall pretty easy. (Sat)
Came home after church and start my last project. Winch installation. It would have been a lot easier if I install it with the bumper off, but due to my crushed finger, I did all that with the bumper still on the Jeep. Took me about 3/4 hours, but the last time I worked on my own car is almost 20yrs ago.
