Nothing is required but it is reccomended that you take a little off(I took off less than half an inch) of the ends of the frame to help the D ring mounts sit flush. Mine don't sit perfectly flush, but it's close enough for me.

That reflector tape is a nice touch. I did the same thing to my hitch basket, and somebody still hit the damn thing..
x2, I didn't trim mine completely flush for my mounts and fascia, but taking a little bit off made a world of difference.

Okay, I'll play, here is mine. But I give credit to Eddie as Rubicat gave me the inspiration.

here is mine with nothing, like Eddie said. I will be adding fascia/drings soon but don't mind how it is now.
thought I had more pics but will grab a few more in the am!

Here's how much we took off to keep it flush. The trimmed piece is sitting there on top of the cross member in the first picture.

Damn those look good! If you don't cut them first, and install them, can you pull them out and cut it later?

You could, but one of ours was a tight fit and we had to hammer it in. I wouldn't want to go to the trouble to take it out again.

I have one. And any other tools needed. Bring the jeep and the parts and we'll get it done.

Same here. It was a snug fit on the passenger side for me.

Not my cup of tea, but I got an email from ACE that should be considered.

Me too...I've had them on for months now and I still haven't opened them up to get that second bolt on. I won't tell if you don't... :cheesy:

Something to check on your jeep, mine was this way. On one side the flag nut was really close about going in. A slight love tap from a hammer and it went in through the slot without having to open it up. Other side wasn't even close, however if you went from the other side of the crossmember (muffler side) then the holes were reversed. Now the side that wasn't close to fitting just needed a love tap on the muffler side and it went in. So I was able to get one flag nut in on the side towards the rear of the jeep and able to get the other flag nut in on the side that was towards the muffler with no cutting.
Hope that makes since.
