I removed the JL Wrangler Sport "Euro" Close Out Cover Bumper Pieces

[clemson]

Being a bit ambitious, I purchased 6KL10RXFAA and 6KL11RXFAA. I can 100% definitively say that they do not fit the sport bumper.

they do not fit the Sahara

Just removed the front bumper fillers on my 20 JL. Also was able to cut the fillers off and reinstall the backing to the bumper to cover the rear of the fog lights.

How did you remove the very large pull pin in the bottom? Mine has 6 bolts, but then discovered the large pin. Was there anything else holding it in place other than the 6 bolts from the wheel well? Thought about just brute force, but don't want to damage too much. I want to trim and reinstall to cover the fog lights connections. Thanks!

Using a flat blade screw driver pry out the middle of the pin and the retainer will then come right out there are cut outs on the side of the center pin for the screw driver

Sounds like the perfect excuse for aftermarket bumpers!

Found the parts if anyone threw their’s out, and wants to order so you can cut and cover light plugs.

Mopar parts #6QZ89RXFAB (left side) and 6QZ88RXFAB (right side)

Jeep officially calls them “Close-Out Covers”. Haha

To get to the 7th screw remove the air dam on the bottom. I almost made the same bad choice to muscle it off.

Finally got one side out. Then decided to just cut the other one in place. Used new razor blade and made very quick work of it. I reinstalled the one I removed, and cut it in place too. Could have saved a lot of time if i had just gone that route in the first place.

Hmm, I may try that method.

it was very quick. Took maybe 5 minutes in total to cut. I did a nice score using the bumper as a guide for my hand. Held the side of the blade at an angle that used the bumper edge to guide then just followed that. Then i drove the tip of the razor blade straight through and did a single cut moving slowly using the same method. Used some very fine sandpaper to clean up the edge after the cut.

Wow. I have done both ways now, and leaving on and cutting was so simple. Thanks for your post. I originally took both off before cutting. I messed one up, so I ordered a new close-out. When it came I attached it to bumper and followed your instructions. So easy. Took less than 3 minutes. Taking them off first is such a waste of time!
