Yeah I've got those linked there at the bottom. What I wanted to know is if I get the steel bumper and order the endcaps specifically made to go with the steel bumper, will these mate up with my fenders without having to cut or modify at all. Sorry I wasn't really clear in my first post.

No, there are no end-caps for steel bumper that bolt right I’m to match the sahara fenders you are gonna have to chop them!

So the install was fairly simple. For the end-caps I ended up cutting off the rubicon ones and bolting them on to the Sahara ones. The alignment is not 100% but pretty good. I’m sure if someone made a braket to bolt up to the outside of the end-caps it would make the fit little more aligned.

Hi bro, just a question, you didn't have to buy any other parts but just the rear metal bumper with sensor holes right? No extra bolts, or nuts to get? Or do we use the existing bolts and nuts from the plastic bumper? Do you happen to have the complete list of parts to order to make the rear steel bumper installation complete? Appreciate :)

Everything bolts up with existing hardware. You might have to order the plastic sensor holders for the steel bumper if your bumper doesn’t come with them.

Thank you so much for the clarification! Yeap I probably have to get the plastic sensor holders. So I'll be getting just the steel bumper then! Thanks so much!

So this happened today (hit and rub in the parking lot while I was at work) on my MOAB and am thinking of doing the steel bumper. Could I order these end caps and avoid the modifyig?

I looked everywhere for the end caps with no luck so I got creative. I used end caps from the steel bumper and the plastic bumper and combined them together. To hold them together I used the push clips which actually matched the bolts on the steel bumper. Here's a pic of it below. Basically I cut the bulging part of the steel bumper end cap in order for the plastic bumper end caps to slide over the steel one. You have to keep the steel caps because they bolt right into the bumper. Then the inner plastic piece of the plastic caps you'll want to reuse. You'll just need to cut areas as needed and keep as much surface from the steel caps so the plastic caps have a surface to clip to.

Is there a video of this? I’ think I’ll need help!

Hi all,

I’m having an issue and can’t seem to figure out how to mount the Sahara end caps, to the Steel bumpers.

my question is do I use the Rubicon brackets as seen in photo?

yes but those metal brackets are only to help secure the plastic piece that sits right under the wheel well liners. To secure the end caps you will use the rubicon skeleton bracket and secure the Sahara end caps to it but you will have to trim that plastic bracket so that the end cap fits over it.
