Winch mount, D-rings, light tabs, and receiver tubes can all be added to the NoseGuard. The NoseGuard delivered for evaluation was built to accept a Ramsey winch, a pair of lights, towbar mounts, and a single D-ring to replace the lost tow hooks. The NoseGuard arrives without hardware. You'll need to provide the bolts necessary to attach it. Grade 5 hardware should work, but we prefer grade 8 and, therefore, had plenty of grade 8 nuts and bolts rattling around in the toolbox to complete the installation.
Installation is simple a three step process.
Bolt on the new bumper. To facilitate removing the old bumper, spray a penetrating oil like PB Blaster on the bolts the night before you plan on removing the old bumper. There are four bolts holding the old bumper in place. Two on top at the front end of the frame horns and two underneath, closer to the shackle than the end of the frame horn. Hit them all with a healthy dose of your favorite rust-buster.
