Nice jeep! I am trying to see what you did here but your pic is a bit dark. What specifically did you mount this bar to? The stock bumper? Also, what is VDP? A lot of people have replied to this but I am not sure what it is.

Thanks!

That looks really nice. Is this something you did to your stock bumper?

I Don't have the bumper corners on in that photo. I can email you a couple if you like. VDP= Vertically driven products. Its a company that makes jeep accessories.

They make two types of corners, a subby, (not a fan), and high clearance. (the ones I have and they are full width to the fender flares. The MBRP light bar mounts on the chasis, and the vdp corners are mounted on the stock bumper. you take a sawsall and cut the bumper ends off the stock, and these drill and mount into place. quite easy, but don't forget to trim the factory skid plate too.

The grill guard mounts with 4 brackets. 2 that go on the top between the bumper and grille and 2 go under the bumper. All mount to the frame. You have to cut the plastic skid plate and the plastic piece between the bumper and the grille.

It's a solid mount. Saved my front end as well. That's why I don't have it anymore.
