I just took some close up pictures. I couldn't get my camera back far enough to capture the whole bottom of the bumper, and still be at an angle that showed it the best, so there are a few pictures here.

Center, plenty of clearance.

So you can see there is plenty of clearance throughout the center of the bumper, but that the corners of the skid plate lightly touch the corners of the bumper. When I saw this I backed off the bolts so that the skid plate was loose, and not touching the bumper at the corners. Then I watched the bumper closely as I tightened the bolts back up. As the skid plate is tightened it barely contacts the bumper, just as the bolts are getting too tight to turn any more. It does not deflect the bumper at all. You could trim off the corner of the skid plate if you wanted to, or trim a notch in the bottom of the bumper, but it is not needed.

These are on my short list of wheels but probably the faux beadlock version. Sting Gray.

The only issue I had installing the bumper was trying to hold the tow hooks in place and line up the bolt holes. I had my wife help me by holding one end of the bumper. It also helped to use a punch on each side to line up the bumper and tow hooks, then just slide the punch into the hole on the frame horn, and wa law, the bolts go right in. Fog lights install easily and fit like they are supposed to. Wiring loom is plenty long, and can be zip tied up out of the way before putting the skid plate on. Skid plate fits with no modifications needed, just bolt it on.

Winch needs to be installed before the bumper. But that doesn't mean you couldn't install the bumper without a winch, and just take the bumper off later to install a winch, and then put the bumper back on.

Ordered and awaiting for t to be delivered. Since the Mojave sits generally level. I opted to do a 1.5ā€ spacer front an rear. Below is what I went with.

Teraflex 1.5ā€ spacer and bump stop kit
Fatbobs Garage 1.5ā€ rear spacer
Teraflex rear 1.5ā€ bumpstop extension.
Rubicon Expres Front and rear 1.5ā€ shock relocation brackets
JScan to change tire and PSI
Warn Diamond Cutter Wheels
35x12.5x17 Patriot MTā€™s

I will post pics once I have it all in stock and after I get it all done. It should sit very nice.

Plus the wife is excited to get multi stock wheel and tire on her JL that I am installing Rubicon take off suspension.
