Will the LED fogs from the rubicon plastic bumper bolt up to this bumper without modifications?

I just can't get over the side wings that house the fog lamps....can't put my finger on it but they're just awkward and too angular.

It's like someone wanted to build it out full width then just gave up, and they kinda-sorta wanted to emulate the Sport gap hiders, but not really.

I dunno, but it's just....not.....right

Great thing about Jeeps is there are lots and lots of options and everyone gets to build what they like. This one is right for me and “Hobbes”

Looks good! Did the winch fit in without any modification? Also do you have the stock suspension? If so was there any sag after the install?

Thanks

Winch fit without any modifications. I still have the stock suspension and I've not noted any sag in the front end. The Aluminum bumper is almost exactly the same weight as the stock plastic one I removed so really you're only added the weight of the winch, shackles and ultrahook. No changes to driving dynamics either that I've noticed.

When you installed the extra spacers were you able to add the washer and the locking nut on the back of the frame with the provided bolts?

They make a full size bumper as well it fits more completely.

Yes...just starting. Was hoping a plug and play aftermarket option would evolve for the lights to avoid the $400ish cost for the mopar connectors. Have a Gobi rack coming. I might mount lights on that and wire direct to the tow vehicle...still undecided.

I put the Cooltech harness in. It's been great. Keeps everything simple. I can hookup in 3 minutes easy.

Looks awesome! I'll be installing mine soon (waiting for winch). Did you use the "long" spacers as the rockhard4x4 video states? Any other tips/tricks I should know? I have a 2021 Rubi with plastic front bumper.
