The plastic fog bezels install with rivets included in the shipment, correct? We don't need to buy them?

Mine didn’t include rivets, but the replacement mopar ones snap in fairly securely.

The winch plate also mounts to the frame using the two “L” brackets and 6 of the large nuts and bolts and 12 washers. The l brackets go under the plate and mount in the slot using 2 nuts/bolts on each side. The bracket should be angled back to the frame and there are holes in the frame that the bracket bolts to. You didn’t say if you had installed a winch yet but if you did don’t winch until you put those brackets in. I set my winch in while the bumper was still loose and just had nuts barely threaded into one stud on each side. I’m not sure I could have gotten it in if it had been tight. Also use some zip ties to help secure and align the winch plate before trying to mount the bumper.
I could tell you 10 other ways not to do it!

I don’t have a winch yet, so no winch installed. I wouldn’t trust it without the brackets that go on the inside. And what is that part labeled winch tool in one of the replies with the parts list. It looks like a giant flag nut.
So i went through the boxes again, I’m assuming this is the L bracket you’re referring to? And what’s the bracket under it?

Figured I’d share some photos, the front looks pretty spot on but the rear is only missing the end caps. Solution might be rubi fenders so that the end caps meet the fender.

I wired up the little red LEDs in the rear to the license plate light as well.

The top are the L brackets. The other two brackets are for the license plate I believe. I didn’t use them as they are not compatible with a winch. Oh and I never did find a use for the flag but. I tried to use them to make installing the bracket easier as it is a bit tight in the frame where you bolt the L brackets to but I found out that is one way you don’t do it.

Thanks, whenever I add a winch I’ll be sure to figure out how the brackets go on the plate.

I lied. I installed the license plate bracket today and it works with the winch. It even folds up out of the way for winching operations!

Can you show pictures of this....I had no idea what those brackets were?

Thanks for the photos.

Any idea what the weight of the front bumper is when it's ready to go on the body? (without skid plate)

I didn’t have a scale at the shop, but it felt like a solid 75-80lb ballpark.

Does anyone know if you can use the front skid plate with this bumper?

Have any of those who have installed this bumper also installed the steel skid plate? Any fitment issues?

The factory steel skid plate that comes with the OEM bumper works fine when you purchase the two skid plate brackets. Link below

Also, how the heck do you Mount the lower tow hooks? I can't get a nut lined up in place to start the bolts in the top holes
