How did you mount it?
Removed the front bumper. Used an impact driver to squeeze the bar onto the mounting brackets it came with. I had to go buy thicker bolts because the bolts it came with were too thin and caused the bar to move freely on the mounting brackets. I then used a combination wrench to hold the bolts as I fished the bolt through the front frame bumper mounts. It's not perfect but works. We have limited options with the standard painted cheapo OEM front bumper. I hit a deer recently and it knocked the bull bar loose a bit. So I had to use the impact driver again to tighten it down. Down the road I will probably buy a steel front bumper with a bull bar and re do everything.

Awesome Jeep!

I've never seen a Wrangler or Gladiator I didn't like. I'm not inclined to get wound around the axle on what a spec sheet says, not like you can measure everything when out in the wild...even fun factor.

Nice ride indeed.

I just now noticed in all the pictures of the HAs that they have those closeout panels on the sides of the fog lights. Wish I had those.
