The stock front bumper will come off in about 5 mins. 8 nuts on the inside of the bumper. 4 on each frame rail. I used a old fashioned ratchet but an air rachet would work too. You won't get to them all with a gun. Your new Rugged Ridge will pop back on quickly too. Had the whole thing done including lights, winch, and wiring in under an hour.

It should be easy to swap out. I have considered it, but there are way too many other things on my to-do list right now.

Looks great Nick. Now with how much you love mud you need to fill that thing with a winch.

I talked to Quadratec's customer service last week and they said that the rear bumpers should be shipping this coming week.

I got the same answer from 4ws. Knowing the history of JK parts I hate to get my hopes up, but then again...
