Default Bumper installation question.

After looking on the quadratec site at different bumpers, I notice many of the bumpers fit 06-11 jk wranglers, and I'm assuming it's because of the vacuum pump located on the 2012's. Looking at the Smittybilt xrc MOD it states that it's for 06-12. I've got the 2012 and was wondering if with this bumper do you have to do the relocation for the pump?

Also, after scouring the Internet, i can't figure out the lighting system on the Full width end caps. Is it something purchased separately, or is it modded for putting the factory fogs into it?

Thanks.

so long as the bumper you're looking at has a winch that sits above the frame rails, it'll work just fine on a 2012.

looks to me like the winch sits high enough that it will not interfere with the vac pump

Awesome. Thanks. I really don't wanna have to move that thing...... Yet. Jeep's only for 1,600 miles on it, and I'd just rather leave what I can where the factory put it, until the newness wears off.
