Mopar Bull/Nudge/Brush Guard HELP!!!

[RenegadeBM]

Picked up a Mopar bull bar off eBay. Brand new. Never installed. IM LOST. can't get the tow hooks off. The directions might as well be Chinese. Where do I start?! Does the grill have to come off? Good god. I'm not a mechanic but I know my way around a vehicle. ANY HELP would be much appreciated.

Thanks. Brandon

2004 Jeep Liberty Tow Hooks Installation - YouTube

if you need more info than listed above be more specific. are you unsure of what bolt to undo? is the bumper cover in the way? are they rusted? stripped bolt heads?

Sorry. My bad. I should've known better. 2003 renegade. Trying to install a factory mopar brush guard. I know the toe hooks come off.

Bolts are perfect. I'll let you know. Thanks for the help.

Since you had yours right from the factory, you probably have this setup:

You must be registered for see images

That means that you're going to have to take the crush cans off of the tips of the frame under the bumper. The bumper HAS to come off. The reason I know this is because I INSTALLED these tow hooks.

On the other hand, I had an easy time removing the bumper because my flares DON'T have the pop rivets installed (I guess prior to my owning the vehicle, the front end had been taken apart........ :disgust:

Installed without bumper removal. Took about 2 hours. 1 ratchet click at a time. Lol. Came out great tho. Thanks for all the help everyone.

Hate to say it but he's absolutely right. Better hope you never get stuck.

I was able to put my hooks back on after I installed my bull bar.
