Also, the hinge bolts were kind of tough to get in... once they're in, they ain't coming out w/o a lot of cuss words and hammering. But the final result is awesome & this thing feels pretty indestructible.
I am so excited to get this on! We are putting the bumper on this weekend. There is NO way I can even lift it myself (whimpy) and drilling into the jeep isn't something I really want to do, but I figure if hubby screws it up I can blame him

I'm sure the bumper will be easy. Usually taking off the old one takes longer than mounting the new one.
