Reviews for Carnivore Rear Bumper for 87-06 Jeep Wrangler YJ, TJ & Unlimited
Stylish look. Functionality.
I really like this bumper for my LJ. Looks great, easy installation. The instructions say to drill four 7/16" holes for the inner mount bolts, but that was too small for the bolts provided, so I drilled again at 15/32" and that worked perfectly.
The instructions say to use 16mm socket but it actually took an 18mm for the main bolts holding the bumper to the frame. The fact that you need to put the bumper on w/the outer bolts, mark the inner bolts, remove the bumper, drill and put the bumper back on is a bit of a pain. Also, I agree w/Rich O's review that you need hands this size of an infant to get the bolts on. I actually only used the outer bolts for I ran out of time but will handle the inner bolts next weekend. The bumper looks amazing but the installation is far more difficult than the standard bumper. This is definitely a two person job!
Installation requires hands the size of infants to install the left side inner bolts
