I'm considering buying the Arcus bumper. I have a JTRD with OEM LED fogs. Has anyone with this exact configuration installed this bumper? Do the factory fogs and factory lower skid plate all work okay with this. I've read mixed reviews about using the OEM fogs and the OEM steel skid with this bumper. TIA

I have this bumper. The factory JTR skid fits just fine. I could not help with the LED's as I do not have them. I will be selling this bumper at some time soon as I am looking to off load anything made in China from my truck.

LED fogs? If I remember correct the halogens need a different bracket. Other than that it should mount up fine. I have it on my Mojave and it was no problem.

Yes. Everything bolted right up to my JTR with factory LEDs/skid

You wouldn't happen to have the factory 8.4 head unit? I'll be happy to take that china electronics off your hands.. hahaha.

I have the LED package and this bumper. I didn't have any problems installing the lights. Putting that bumper on by myself took some time/

There’s no issue with the fogs other than a million screws that you need to remove from the old bumper to get the wiring out. Once that’s out it’s easy peasy.

The only "problem" I had was pulling the wire out of the old stock bumper so I didn't have to cut and splice anything. Other than that, bolting the LED fog lights, factory skid and Arcus bumper together was super easy.
