Apologies for coming late to this thread, but was wondering if these shackle mounts from Frog Fab require any trimming of the oem steel bumper or skid plate to install (beyond the obvious holes that you cut out of the plastic fog light covers). Thanks!I'll second the Bandit as well. The rear bumper hooks are perfectly fine. I've not had to use mine but I have winch pulled on other people's JLU's and Gladiators that had the same hooks.
To head off the obvious next question: the front hooks are fine too. I personally don't like that style of hook and prefer something that allows a more positive connection. I "augmented" my front bumper with some shackle mount points that pass through the bumper and bolt to the frame horns:
I did not have to trim the skid plate at all. I did not have to do any trimming of the actual bumper but I did have to cut off the crush cans because they cover the frame horns where the shackle mounts need to bolt up. It was a simple job with a cutoff disc and angle grinder. Hope that helps. Cheers.
