I got a screaming deal on a new Rough Country Front bumper part #10585. The issue is you have to use the skid plate that comes with the bumper and the RC skid plate has no option for mounting the Mojave shock reservoirs.
I am looking for some creative ways to relocate the reservoirs so I can utilize the skid plate. TIA.

The reservoirs don't mount to the skid plate, they mount to the mounts above the skid. Do these have to be removed with the rough country bumper? If you can leave the frame brackets that the reservoirs are mounted to and simply bolt up their bumper and skid you're good to go. My aftermarket stubby bumper didn't come with a skid, but I was able to keep the factory skid and brackets so I didn't have to deal with reservoir mounts at all. Painted it with rattle can be liner as I wasn't a fan of the silver.

The Rough Country website does specify that theor skid plate is not compatible with the Mojave shock reservoir location unfortunately.
I have read here on this forum where some folks came up with ways to relocate the reservoirs but I can’t remember where and the search function didn’t seem to point me in the right direction.

There are universal resi mounts everywhere and simple hose clamps to secure? Shouldn't be to difficult once the bumper is mounted to find a spot!

I have that bumper on my 22JTRD. I used the factory metal skid that came with the plastic bumper. I put it on 4 years ago, but don't remember it being any issue.

I have the RC front and rear tubular bumpers on my Mojave. I just used the factory Mojave skid plate and didnā€˜t need to touch or relocate the reservoirs. It looks better with the factory skid plate instead of the RC one in my opinion.
