2005 Front Bumper Removal (if necessary)

[TRowe]

Good afternoon, knowledgeable ones,

My fiance' surprised me today with a pair of front tow hooks that she scored off of eBay. Hooray for me. The only issue I have with them is that they were taken off of another KJ, and thus do not have the m-bolt that eases installation (they do have all of the original hardware, though). I've done some searching on this forum and on the L.O.S.T. forum, and haven't quite determined whether or not I need to remove the front bumper for installation, and if so, whether or not I'll need to buy some rivets beforehand. My KJ is a 2005 Sport, and I don't have large man-hands, if that's helpful. :-k

Thanks!

Tim

I wonder if the dealer would be able to get them?? If you've got an 05 you won't have to remove the bumper if you have the u bolts and it is an easy install.

Thanks for responding. Looks like I'll have to try my dealer and see what happens. I could have sworn that JParts had an installation kit with the u-bolts on their site, but I can't find it now...
