I installed my Rugged Ridge HD Full Width bumper and Overider bar last weekend.

The overider bar installs through an Upper Bolt Plate, which has two threaded studs sticking out. Also included are M8x1.25 nuts, which go to those studs.

However, the threaded studs are NOT M8x1.25. None of the nuts fit any of the studs. I crossed checked with a known M8x1.25 bolt and the supplied nuts fit, so I know the nuts are M8x1.25.

Has anyone else run into this issue? Any idea what thread the studs actually are?

I called RR and a tech support person is looking into it also.

I installed that bumper but don't remember what size the nuts or bolts were. I used the hardware they sent me and it all worked and I got it installed in about 45 minutes to an hour. They may have sent the wrong ones to you
