Quick question

[jal]

I removed the tow bar and their frame brackets were there. Do I leave these on when installing new bumper? Installing rugged ridge bumper

No idea but i assume yes. Looks like a support brace for the tow hook.

Yes. You might have to loosen the bolts a little. Can't remember if I had to on my old Gladiator

Still fighting with the outside bolts
Will attempt again in the morning
You know how you should put a nut one side of the bumper so when you’re jiggling it for the other side, it doesn’t fall and hit your knee….yeaaa lol

It's a pain in the ass. But you have to get the 3 that are in the bumper in the frame brackets first. Then put the last one in. You can loosen the bolts on the frame brackets a little and it will help. But if you have someone who can help hold the bumper while you get the bolts in
