Bar/Hoop Installed on Capable Bumper

[DJ1]

I installed a JK bar to my capable bumper since I couldn't find one made for the capable bumper. My install went like this:

1 - remove bumper
2 - drill holes
3 - bolt on bar
4 - re-install bumper

What did you use to screw in the bar? Washer and torx?

Nuts, bolts and washers. The bar came with a back plate that has nuts/threads welded on, but I couldn't fit the plate inside the contours of the bumper. I just used large washers to try and distribute the load.

Wow that looks great! What bar did you use exactly? Do you have a link?

So I just got my Amazon bull bar and the number mount is way bigger the what I have seen on the others that have done this

Thinking about this, it fits but the few comments I have seen people hate it.

That sucks. Got a link to the one you bought?

That other one is on the plastic bumper not the Capable. Could possibly work, but probably not.

The other one I posted actually has instructions for a capable bumper

So learned a few things that made it fit.
When I loosen the bumper, it probably dropped 3/4 of a inch. I also put a washer the 6 bolts that mount the bumper. That allowed me to raise the bumper back up a little, not to where it was but closer.
