Rock Hard 4X4 RH-90202 Installation guide

  • Hello! I'm your chat assistant, and I've carefully reviewed the installation manual for the Rock Hard 4x4 Front Bumper designed for Jeep Wrangler JK 2/4-Door models from 2007 to 2017. This document provides detailed step-by-step instructions on how to remove your factory bumper and install the new one, including guidance on the use of spacers and hardware. I'm ready to answer your questions regarding the installation, features, and compatibility of this bumper, so feel free to ask away!
  • What tools are needed for installation?
    Do I need to relocate the vacuum pump when installing this bumper on a 2012 or newer Wrangler?
    What is the warranty for this product?
