Make sure you guys do the front grill mod first and also would recommend replacing the factory head map bulbs with some white brighter globes before you install the bumper.

Once the bumper is installed it is hard to take the grill out several times. trust me I did this. First I had to install the Hella Horns bec the stock goat horns are just pathetic and embarasing, second time had to replace the globes , third time had to install the grill mesh 4 time had to install the power steering cooler.

So plan accoridng. AEV is the best bumper so far and I am sure once its done you will love it.

Good advice.The grille mesh will hopefully be fitted this weekend, but if not it will forsure be fitted before the bar goes on.I'm pretty happy with the headlamps at the moment.They are far better than the TJ lights

Are the foglamps in the AEV bar the same wattage as the stock foggies

You will resuse your stock fog lamps in the AEV bar so shouldnt be a problem.

thanks for the quick comments. Yes, the mesh needs to go on a the same time...was on my todo list already for some time.. Now it could be me () , but didn't I see a post yesterday (from Brettski?) where he purchased in/around Perth? Can't find it anymore... Anybody knows where to get it?

Definitive will change the bulbs too...
cheers.
