Question regarding the Rugged Ridge XHD bumper with skid
Quick question. I've got the XHD on order, and wondering if it's possible to install the aftermarket skidplate after installing the bumper or is it easier in any way to install the front skid plate first, and then the bumper?

not sure,,, but be ready to do some extra work to make it fit...
I had to do some grinding .... in order to make the mounting bracket work..
this mounting hole still doesn't line up...
I also had to drill one hole, no big deal, no pic.

Yup i have the RR front bumper and the skid plate. I didnt pay any attention and tried to install the skid plate without grinding down that little bit off the frame with no sucess. This is a design flaw for later model JK's
