Anyone have any experience putting the RR HD bumper on a JTR? I've heard some whispers that it'll interfere with the skid plate or that OEM fog lights won't fit.

HD Stubby on my JTR. Factory plastic bumper LED fog lights bolt straight in.

Factory plastic bumper steel skidplate will require trimming to go back on.

I ordered the matching RR skidplate with the bumper on Black Friday straight from RR and its still on back order so I canceled it and am running without any skid currently.

The RR skid would also need trimming to clear the LED fogs though.

I didn't have any trouble with mine. Factory LED fogs fit as did the factory skid.

how did you attach the passenger side winch bracket? did you have to modify it? mine rubs against the sway bar disconnect

Nothing rubbed on mine. I do recall it took me a minute to figure out how everything went together so it wouldn't rub.

Hey all, there’s been a lot of discussion about the passenger side winch plate bracket for the rugged ridge HD full width bumper, not sure if I cracked the code or messed with the physics of the engineering but the passenger side JK bracket fits perfectly on the JTR, and gives a couple inches of clearance around the sway bar disconnect.
