Default RealWheels RW310-25BP-J 2.5" Pre-runner bar

Just installed RealWheels RW310-25BP-J 2.5" Pre-runner bar. Looks bad ass on the Jeep. Instructions could have been better. They were for 2007 need to be updated for newer models with better photos in color. Although the description states no drilling required the plastic filler plate between the bumper and the grill has to be cut to install the brackets. I also didn't need to remove the bolts on the bumper as stated in the instructions. Maybe it was required on the older models only?
I didn't want to install any lights on the bar so I cut off the light brackets, grinded the weld smooth and sprayed just the area cut with powercoat paint. The welds are on the underside of the bar so you can’t see them anyway. I also didn't want to cut the ends off the plastic filler plate so I cut channels in the filler plate for the brackets to slide thru. One tip, when removing the plastic filler plate do not try to unscrew the two plastic fasteners . The plastic is very soft and will only strip the screw head. Instead carefully pry the fastener up with a thin flat head screw driver around the outer circle. Try not to damage. Once out you can remove the screw and re-insert when reassembling. The plastic fasteners securing the grill came out very easily by prying the inner circle of the fastener up with a thin flat head screw driver.
