Default Question regarding Rugged Ridge Tube Bumper

I posted this in the modified forum, with no reply. Hoping to see a reply here...

Thanks.


-My buddy gave me his Rugged Ridge Tube Front Bumper. However, I have no hardware for it.
I do have the install instructions, but no mention of what is needed.

I have two questions:

- Do I use the existing lock nuts and washers from the factory bumper? If not, do you know what sizes I might need?

- Do you know what size the plastic push fasteners are? I have none of those, and need to pick some up.

- Regarding the factory foglights...do I use the existing Nuts and blots to reattach to tube bumper? If not do you know what sizes i need?

In the coming weeks I will be installing the bumper, getting new wheels and tires. Looking forward to it. Although I do have to say researching wheels and tires sucks! I want a bigger tire, but don't want to get a lift or use wheel spacers. Not many options out there.

Thanks for all the help.

That bumper sucks, it is about as strong as a pop can. Everyone I have seen that runs it bends the shit out of it. Don't waste your time installing it.

Oh good! I think it even say right on the instructions "not for towing".
