I used body molding tape from Autozone to mount the plate to the bumper. I've been through water crossings and a few winters without issue.

I have a similar bumper and almost cut the cans off until CastleRockJeep came across with the crush cans, I like the factory look of them for now as it is my daily driver and I have no need for D-Rings but I do like that look

I bought it used for $200. I actually like the look of the shackle mounts better but I just can't get over having to pay $100 for a set of them.

Rugged ridge makes these caps, I'm not sure if they are a replacement for the mopar caps but they might be an ugly alternative

I got mine for $200 as well. I figure $300 all in for a bumper I like is a great deal. My d-ring mounts are EVO. I bought MBRP's from Amazon and sent them back they were terrible and came with no hardware.

what did you not like about them beside not coming with hardware?

call me crazy but Im not a fan of the clover leaf looking ones from evo. I like to keep a square boxy look
