Here's the pic showing the shackels with the wire in place.

I was looking for a pic of the 1st edition Mopar bumper with the non-factory fogs in it. Part # 82209880.

Thanks.

adamisadam, how do you like the Hi-Lift mount? I'm thinking of getting it for mine.

It's home made. I bought the clamps from a special clamp company. I posted about it here somewhere and put pics of the install on my home page. I only put the jack there when I'm wheeling, but I'm leaving the clamps on all summer just to cut down on the potential for scratching.

It worked great. I put the jack on before I drove 200 miles each way to/from Rausch. When I park for the night, I put a bike like through the jack and around the bull bar, just for piece of mind.

The jack didn't move at all during the off roading. I spent about $30 in materials, maybe $35. I like how beefy looking the new Hi-Lift clamps are, but at $90+ shipping, i wanted to try this first. But I can certainly see how their price climbed up to that point when just my clamps were nearly $15 each, plus I then needed wing nuts and a flat piece of metal on each to go over the aluminum curved adjusting part.

I offered to review one of them for Hi-Lift for JPFreek.com, the magazine I write for, but didn't hear back yet.

Good luck and let me know if you have any questions yet.

I like this route with the d-ring shackles. Does anyone know what was put in the holes here where the plastic cover would secure to? Are these the PureJeep shackle mounts?

What is the purpose of the crush can and would I screw anything up by cutting them off? Thanks everyone!

I'm not sure, but I've seen this done before and was considering it myself. I think that's just one of those rounded head bolts, like what's used on swing sets, and painted black. The D rings are part of that modular bumper system I believe.

The crush cans are just to absorb some of the impact. Some guys like them as parking protection for your winch in case someone bumps you while parallel parking or somthing like that.

I will say this, I'll be watching the thread, so please post your findings.

I sent a PM to the user that did this. He hasn't logged in since mid-April, so we'll see if I get a response. I'll let you know.

That's the story of my life right there......

I got my JK in February and had this bumper installed by the dealer. It is available now and it is great. Fog lamp location is perfect.
The skid plate is extra.
I got a Warn 9.5ti that fits VERY snugly inside - front of winch is up against the bumper. No room to fit a winch cover in there.
