When it comes to replacing your Jeep’s old plastic bench, there are a plethora of variables and factors to consider. Because a bullbar will dramatically transform the appearance of the Jeep’s face, we must consider design and aesthetics.

Bull bar all day if possible. I think super long stingers are ridiculous, but a low to mid-rise bull bar looks decent and provides a platform for lighting and other extras. It’s also useful for wrapping your toe strap if it’s been in the dirt recently. You have a four-door, unless you plan on driving down the side of a mountain, you will have a hard time flipping a JKU ass over a teacup, it would have to be a really steep ledge. Get the bull bar.

8. To secure the Brackets to the frame, align the Bull Bar correctly, then tighten the Bracket hardware. Removing the Bull Bar is a temporary solution.

9. Reinstall the splash guard and secure it using the factory hardware. Calculate how much cutting will be necessary to clear the Brackets and Bull Bar. Make a mark on the back of the splash guard where the mounting brackets will go.

NOTE: Only remove enough material to clear the Bull Bar and Brackets to keep the plastic Splash Guard in good condition. Before finishing the installation, make tiny cuts and double-check the fit.
