Front bumper recommendation would be to have a good slip bar to align the holes and be patient. There is a lot of 'bolt this on, now remove it's type steps with aligning everything up front. The rear does require cutting of the rear most lower portion of the quarter panel. I tried to come up with some way around doing it and I didn't realize it required it until I was at tha point. Totally an oversight on my part but really not bad at all. Gotta pay to play.
Ahh, i see the cutting part now in the fender extension instructions. Assuming this is what you are talking about. "Mark 1 1/2” up from bottom and 3/4” from front of exposed pinch weld and trace diagonal line onto the exposed pinch weld. Use cutoff wheel or body saw to trim off BOTH LAYERS at trim line (fig. 2)."
That is correct. Sorry I rushed the response and forgot to mention exactly what and why. It's really a non issue as there are no spot welds there that will compromise anything, but it opens up the wheel wells much more in the back. I didn't want to take off more than necessary so I made a cut then test fit and repeated until everything cleared and fit properly. Some taping off of the area and some rust preventative paint and good to go.
Jeep is looking good though! That color pops against the snowy backdrop. Very nice!
Went for a quick drive up the canyon to check the snow level. Not looking to good.
Was able to track down one about 2.5 hrs away in Maryland that had the things I really wanted: black leather, cold weather, sun rider, 8.4", remote start, LED's, safety group, 2.0L engine. Basically everything but the tow package, advanced safety group and the proximity entry for the most part.Love mine you will be happy what extras did you get?
It's beautiful! Love the scenery too!Love mine you will be happy what extras did you get?
Last week I ordered a set of AEV bumpers + tire carrier. Received notice that these are getting shipped out today. Now it is a question of whether the bumpers or the Jeep are delivered first.
Awesome...colors are flipped from mine...I have the black top and the body colored flares

Fantastic! You did exactly what I did. Bumpers arrived before the Jeep and then I drove her home from the dealership and starting putting it all together. Had some home improvement projects over the last two weeks so I haven't done the suspension yet. Hopefully this weekend I get to it.
Your Jeep is looking killer now so excited to see it with the lift.
