Default 2012 grill guard , light bar or brush guard?

I am having a hard time finding any of these for a 2012 wrangler. I am sending a MBR light bar I like , but because the 2012 models have a small pump mounted near front bumper, it doesn't fit. Any suggestions ?. Thanks

They make a relocation kit for that pump, I don't know if that will give you enough room for the MBRP light bar.

Many vendors offer relocation brackets for the pump. LOD, OR-Fab are two that come to mind. Any of the '07-'11 bumpers should work on the '12.

There is a metal bracket that holds the pump on that is welded to the frame.

It gets cut off with the relocation brackets. They've been out for a while now.
