    Have you looked at the Pelfreybilt instructions yet? Not many pictures but it’s pretty straight forward and easy to follow.

    just put my on , simple enough bolt on where factory bumper bolted to , you will need to cut the black inner plastic fender , be careful and cut it bigger than you need , and then cut little at a time until you can bend up with (heat gun ) and secure with wire ties or ??? also you might want to get bumper to frame braces ( your bumper will go on with out these, ) from BAMF You can do it

    Trying to figure out if I need to remove these braces. I’m having issues with the winch hitting them, I’m going to try and relocate the remote module tomorrow and see if that helps before removing anything. I have the frame braces I think. See photo

    Smart. I just grabbed mine by the hoop and manhandled it up into place. My back wasn’t happy about it.

    I removed that brace when I installed mine and had to trim the brace running vertically as well.

    I relocated mine to the engine bay. Left those braces on for the grille. There’s 3 bolts on each side. 2 that you can see and then 1 hidden on each side

    Edit: Also if you have fog lights it might be better to notch the headlight supports where the lights will sit. I had to do that so they didn’t make contact with my Rigids

    Interesting I’ll have to check in to them. I went with Caliraised all the way around but I really wanted to have ones that fit in the cut out rather than sit way back behind the cut out.
