    There are two "extension" blocks to extend from the left and rightsides of the front piece of the frame. They are held in by a bolt on the bottom. Remove this bolt and those extension pieces. However, the piece that you remove is threaded and it's what the bolt screws into. Those plates provide that threading...

    This probably doesn't make sense, but it should once you go to put it on...

    Nice lookin bumper and truck. :DThe IPF lights are nice but since I installed my HID lights I dont notice the light from the IPF. They are the driving light and NOT the Spot light though. I might be gettin ride of them and goin with the IPF HID.
    It looks as though you are running stock rims and what size of tire are you running? Also are you using spacers or not to keep from rubbing your tire?

    Here is a Pic of my setup

    Thanks!

    I kinda figured because I've heard of jeeps with quick releases for sway bars. But, how does it affect on-road driving? Do you notice a difference?

    Which lights are they? And what is the wattage?

    Yep, stock wheels, 285/75/16s and I use the 1.25" Spidertrax spacers to eleminate the UCA rubbing.

    Nice!

    The IPF lights are the 900 XDS and they are 65 watts. And they are the Water proof ones that can be submerged under 12 in of water like 15 minutes. They are the heavy duty ones. I paid $189 for them through 4x4groupbuy.com the ones that I got the ARB group buy thru.

    Sorry to derail the thread of showing my truck in there after I had already posted I thought that wasnt to nice. Not that I was trying to steal your thunder but just wanted to show you the light setup and that was the only pic I had up close.

    i didnt used to notice a difference with my SAWs...but while im running the crappy springs/spacers i notice that it tends to lean a bit more during cornering...but that could be due to the coil springs

    with my saws though i noticed ZERO on road difference

    you can make your own quick discos pretty cheaply and easily i think

    Ok, try this... The rectangles indicate the "extensions" that are to be removed. The vertical arrows indicate where the bolts are that are to be removed. The plates that came with the bumper are threaded for these bolts, so they will go inside this horizontal frame piece. Don't worry, it will make sense when you have everything apart. But, the bolts will go through the bumper into this plate, so the steps are
    1) remove bolt
    2) remove extension
    3) put plate in hole
    4) place bumper on truck
    5) put bolt back through the hole in the bottom of the bumper

    4cb90fd9_21d0673c482f663eb5f8eaf017197c6e9f83d29b.jpg

    Also, the skid plate and the arms indicated below will need to be removed:
    IMG_0533_3864e1362709b4839ccc7719dda5aa58edf155a2.jpg

    Based on what Silverback said, you can notch these arms so that they fit with the bumper, but the bumper won't fit properly without the arms being modded.

    Does this help??

    Relentless Armored! Too many others to list.
    That's the same mounting points I used for my bumper. I just ran a grade 8 bolt through the tab on my bumper and into the rectangular tube. One thing I like about my bumper over this all pro is that I have clearance to keep my skid plate on. They actually meet up fairly decently and once I make a front skid everything on mine will tie together nicely.

    Looking good longhorn.

    Ok, I got it now! Thanks for clearing that up for me! I actually purchased all pro skids as well, looks like those will bolt right up to the bumper.
