These instructions apply specifically to the JL's that came with the plastic bump group. There are some slight variations if your JL came with a steel bumper.

@TTEChris I really like that Roam bumper but you already know that.

This look to me looks perfect

I have bookmarked this thread. The Roam front bumper is in the garage, I have ordered the Roam rocksliders, and waiting on the rear bumper also. I am ordering the 2019 White JL Rubicon Unlimited in the morning.

You sound like me.... No bumpers were available at the time but i had a "budget boost" and wheels/tires sitting in the shop waiting to go on before I had the Jeep.

Congrats on your purchase!

I have a five 37 in Cooper STT Pros mounted on ATX Slabs, a portable air compressor, 12,000 pound winch, air jack, tire repair kit, foot pegs, shakle, new straps, D rings and an aluminum trailer to haul the Jeep behind the motor home waiting for the new JLUR for when it comes in. I will also have the lift bought before the Rubicon comes in.

This is my retirement gift.

Thanks for the awesome write-up. I recently installed the roam front bumper on my JLU sport. I love the bumper, but when I mounted by X20 winch I noticed the clutch lever rubs right on my a/c line when the clutch is engaged. Has anyone else run into this or have a solution?

I would like to see a pic of the bumper and winch mounted on your Jeep.

Please let me know if you want any additional photos. Photo "22" shows the clutch lever in the engaged position. You can see it sits right on-top of the line.

Picked up my JLUR yesterday late afternoon. Thinking that Saturday, I will install the front bumper and winch.

I installed the mid height slimline stubby last week , but my winch was delayed so I need to install it now. I also got the X2O smitty 10,000. Can you give me advise on mounting the control box on center. Did you have to drill mounting holes in the bumper?
