i just got my rugged ridge bumper and will be installing it after work tonight... after looking at the instructions and they dont show the "crush cans"... am i missing something?

does that whole assembly come off? do i have to cut them....

now, after someone answers me.... please feel free to make what ever jokes you all feel necessary

Therugged ridge bumper does not use the crush cans. You can keep them to sort assorted, found, or extra screws & bolts.

i havent had a chance to look, but what im asking is if that assembly comes off or do i need to cut them off...

Robar

The crush cans come off. They are attached to the metal support of the plastic bumper.

4 nuts on the back of each side of the stock bumper. (2 on each side of each frame rail. 4 spacers behind thos 4 nuts.) disconnect whatever wires may be there. and toss the stock bumper Kaber style across the front yard and extra points for landing it in the recycle bin.

Never look back.

Your Jeep will be much happier.

Just be patient with it, especially if you are using hand tools. The threaded nuts were a pain in my ass.

paramaniac

pain in the ass how?

i have an electric impact wrench, do you think that will be better?
