I am installing a new Smittybilt SRC front bumper and have been trying to find a tutorial on how to remove the stock bumpe to no avail. Anyone know where to find one? Any help will be appreciated.

Just crawl under your JK and you'll see how easy it is. Or you take a look at this first.

This. You may want to spray some wd40 on the bolts prior to removal

It is a pretty simple job and you'll be surprised at how lite the bumper is.
