Reading up on this. Was this ever able to be achieved? Putting a raptor bumper and skid plate on a standard sqatch?

Finally got around to this project yesterday. Shoutout to @Alfa for having this thread going, because I had to read through it a time or two along the way. Running the wiring harness through the Raptor bumper was brutal, like someone else said ... so many screws & bolts.I'm about to do this project on my Wildtrak, going from the plastic to the Raptor style. Surprisingly it was easier to find the Raptor bumper than a regular modular bumper. Anyway, I'm sure I'll be checking this thread for reminders on what to do and not to do!
So this possible with a 2door? I was wondering! I’ve already got the bumper and the lights hooked up.Finally got around to this project yesterday.

None the less I was able to get rid of the plastic and get the Raptor bumper mounted up. I definitely saw that gap on the backside and will tackle that next. Like others have said, just need something to take up that space.
I also have the fun of wiring up the Rigid Fog Lights as well. I'll be saving that one for later on down the road cause I suspect that one will test my patience. lol
Anyway, here's a few pics.
Yep, definitely possible on a 2 door. I was able to get 3 out of the 4 bolts to mount for the skid plate without issue, just have that one (where the gap is too long) to handle next. I just need to fabricate a spacer and get a longer bolt.So this possible with a 2door? I was wondering! I’ve already got the bumper and the lights hooked up.
Also- are the mounting points for the skid plate specific to the V6? Wondering if this can be done with a 2.3L/7-spd
The electrical is not hard. I wrote up how to go from the plastic bumper to the Raptor bumper a while back:Yep, definitely possible on a 2 door.

The fog lights are another story. How did you go about getting the fog lights to work?
I've seen where some are having to do a lot of wiring and splicing. I'm not the best with electrical wiring, so I am saving that project for another day.
Would love to know what you did on yours.
Oh trust me, I have that thread you wrote saved.The electrical is not hard. I wrote up how to go from the plastic bumper to the Raptor bumper a while back:

If you do that, you will need different connectors as I don't think that the modular bumper harness uses the h11 connectors, but rather mx150, 2 pin like the raptor lights. @flip can get you the harness part number and probably the part cheaper than anywhere else.I'm definitely leaning toward your quote here though " If I had to do this again, I might have spent the $70 and get the modular bumper wiring harness, but only because the fog light connectors are in a better place, but honestly it wasn't that bad.

The national warehouse shows 4 in stock.@Alfa and @flip you guys are awesome! I'll order that harness and give the OE wiring route a go.
Flip I tried to order it through your website, but it's out of stock. Neat to see your part's site, I used to work for Revolution Parts. My wife (@Hoozeygrl) works there currently.
I'll post again once I receive the harness and get started again. Thanks guys!
