What's up every one? Happy Holidays. I got a couple of questions hopefully some one will be able to help me with. Just installed the front Brawler lite and the rock brawler rear bumper last night. Love them. Look great.

The front bumper, I have some wires that are from the fogs. I have not secured it. I don't have the skid plate yet. I will add it later. In the meantime, how are we securing the wires? Zip ties, get it out of the way? Anyone have a neat way of securing the wires?

The rear bumper, the directions and some you tube videos showed some drilling into the frame. I did not. That bumper is secure. It's not moving. Was a little bit of a "PITA" to get on. Do you think I should do the drilling? Have people gotten away with out drilling?

Wiring help for the led reverse lights, they are small. Is the draw too big on these? They are 2 1/2 inch in size. What's the easiest way to hook them up? I'm not real handy and I am not an electrician/engineer by any means.

Thanks and keep on keepin on.

 

Up front, just zip tie the wires out of the way. Nothing fancy.

I don't know specifically what drilling you are referring to, but they advise you do it for a reason. My old rear bumper had all bolts and brackets installed, and would still move enough when I dropped on it that it would block the tailgate from opening. It's all dependent on how you intend to use your Jeep, but It doesn't hurt to throw those last few bolts in.

For the small LED lights, I just use wire taps and wire them into the taillight wiring. They have a minimal draw and shouldn't have any effect on the other lights or CANBUS system.

 

The front I zip tied

 

Drill the holes, otherwise you will get sagging and your tire carrier will make contact with your bumper, scratching it. Be sure to properly torque your bolts too... that's key.

 

I have poison spyder front and rear.

as far as the bumper lights I'd tap into the reverse lights
