    Hi TW!

    Getting ready to install my BFF hybrid front bumper. Billys site has installation tips to remove factory tow loop/hook. Angle grinder with cutting wheel made quick work of that. Now onto the harder part, actual installation. Ive searched the site as best i could and only found write ups of rear high clearance bumper.

    Anyone have a link to install the front bumper or advice?

    Thanks TW!

    Installing one here too...photos in the directions leave a little to be desired.

    I know this is an old thread, but this pops up when you search for Brute Force hybrid install. The bumper I received has cutouts for the tow hook. No need to cut it off as the directions say. I'm pretty sure the TRD OR recovery can stay on too. Super easy install otherwise.
