do I have to put different bumper mounts on

I have the rubicon kit, and the stock frame mounts are just slightly closer together than the posts for the bumper. I use an F250 cab body, so the bumper is about halfway out, so the posts bend just slightly and manage to fit just fine.

No. You have to buy the mounts separately. Make sure you know the diameter of your bars to get the right mounts.

Where it is mounted does not matter; it does need to be protected from damage,. Can you still have it reasonably protected where you will mounted? (protected from rock/debris strikes & vandalism) If so, attaching to the bumper should be fine.

No vehicle specific brackets needed. If you have slot mounted bars (with a rubber strip) you can use the slot mounting piece which is unique to these racks, otherwise there is a universal mount included as well.

No, the bottom bracket is actually attached to th bumper bracket on the frame. I believe you need to drill one whole in the frame on each side - you use the two existing screw wholes in the frame so there are three load points on the frame on each side. You should be able to download the instructions from the rugged ridge site. When I first went to install the bracket, I thought it would never work. Once I turned them the right way and slid them BETWEEN the bumper and the frame on each side it was quite easy.

Conrad, this roof rack attaches at the door hinges in front and where the stock bumper attaches in the rear. Not sure what your set up looks like, but that may give you an idea of what to look at to see if it will fit. If your mods have changed any of that then you may need to make some adjustments.

No. I put these on my avalanche there is a different part number for the fronts and rears. They mount differently between the front and rears. These are for the fronts only.

It fit well ,do'nt tighten anything up until all the bolts are started,nothings perfect you might need to use your draw bar for leaverage too.I flipped my bumperettes over ,they seemed to fit better,(did not bind against the top of the hitch), Make sure your bumper bolts are still loose with bumperettes in place then put in the frame bolts,(like I said you may have to use your draw bar to move the hitch to get the frame bolts started. Then tighten everything up and torque them. Good Luck

I does on mine, but it probably depends on the type and model of bumper cover you have.

It does come with some brackets to be attach on the bumper, there is another brand that is expensive but it will last you longer than this brand, see this linkhttp://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0084Y9RP8/ref=aw_wl_ov_dp_1_4?colid=2UPTKAEM8127E&coliid;=I2CGZKMGGZ009T

I had to purchase mine separate. Most mounting plates I have seen are vehicle specific.

I did not have to remove the ones on my 2003 Chevy Silverado, but I was able to reuse mounts from a previous guard rail that was on my truck. I think I would have had to remove them if I used the mounts sent with the kit.

They have a nut and bolt on the bottom, so they will simply bolt on top of a bumper, assuming you have space. If mounting IN a bumper, then I guess you would have to modify the bumper somehow. Knowing what vehicle would help with the answer.

No. But it will work well if you know how to install. Remove the bumper first.

Not as far as I'm aware. If you look at either side of the bumper under the jeep, you'll see two mounting flanges holdin it on. There's one in the middle too. It's easy to slide a wrench or ratchet in there and remove the bumper. That way you have unrestricted access to the frame bar where the hitch connects. Install the hitch, put the bumper back on and you're good to go. If possible, take the bumper off the mounting flanges and leave them connected to the frame.Hope that helps!

You don't need bracket. They should be holes predrill to your bumper, use two screw to hold it in place and it shouls be tight.

Both will do what they are designed to do. from all I've seen and heard, it's a personal preference. I do agree that the mounting system could use a good upgrading. Even using the dash mounting plate, it still falls off from time to time.
