Got a question regarding front bumper fitment . Will the Fab Fours JK07-B1951-B Front Stubby Bumper from a JK fit the JL/JT model. I know there's a specific bumper for a JL/JT but is more expensive and both bumpers look the same to me. Any thought guys? Links below. Thanks...

This is another option to hide the receiver behind the license plate, Draw-Tite 65030. Again needs to be modified to fit the frame rails and has a very attractive price from etrsiler.com

The Lund/Rampage steps will work the best because they mount to bottom of the Rubicon rock rail, the other may mount to the frame.
You should get two c-clamps to temporarily mount each step in desired location and mark where you going to drill. First 1/4" hole will be tapped with M8 metric tap...
