Default MOPAR light bar

Can anyone tell me if I need to drill holes in the bumper to install the MOPAR light bar on a 2103 JK? Because I'm just not seeing how it will install otherwise. It is a stock bumper.

Any help appreciated...

Bobby

No drilling. It is a bolt on application. I had one on my 2011 JKU. It is a fairly easy install. It bolts up to the frame rails. The hardest part is getting your fingers (or tool) to hold the nut when threading the bolt through on the upper side of the frame.

The three light bar. The instructions show there is a hole where the bar connects to the brackets. Should be a simple install.

There is a plastic cover that sits between the bumper and grill. You have to trim away the outer sides of it for the light bar to line up with the holes in the frame. Once you have them out if the way installation is very easy. I used an Allen wrench to hold the bolts in place inside of the frame while I tightened the bolts. From start to finish should only take you about a half hour. Good luck

No drilling, bolts to the frame. I suggest putting a piece of tape over the end of box wrench to the nut in place. Here is the instructions for it. http://www.quadratec.com/Assets/Installation/114880.pdf
