No, not the dumb red tow hooks that mimic Maximus and warn, these. Clearly look like light mounts, but I can’t get them to line up with any of the holes properly.

Hmmm...those might not be for JL/JT bumpers; they look more like the light mounts for JK steel bumpers.

The auxiliary light mount for JL/JT is ONE piece: https://www.rubitrux.com/maximus-3-wrangler-jl-gladiator-jt-dually-auxiliary-light-bracket.html

I have one of these; they fit JL/JT steel bumpers perfectly. They attach to the three holes right in front of the winch.

That was my thought as well but no dice. I’ll toss em to the side for now.

Do they fit here?

Excuse the horrible picture, half way through taking the plastic one off, but I thought the same thing. They’re a smidge too wide

Can you squeeze them a little? Might need a vise.
That might be the move here, once I get the bumper on I’ll see if they work that way !

Got it all buttoned up, critical Oversight in forgetting that the rubicon skid w/ plastic bumper is different from the steel bumper group skid. I’ll be rocking no skid for a little while I decide if I want to do mopar, rock hard, or something else.

Tried every which way for those brackets, no dice.

They also sent the wrong front trim pieces. New ones on order.
