OK, so it is different... slightly

I bet because of the model year differences, I need to take the bumper off, and several other panels... possibly. Looks like this won't happen in one day.

EDIT: Scratch that, we have 2 different versions, DEFINITELY. Keep posting.

What exactly is the problem you're having with the upper mount? Is it the angled pieces (F & G) that fits in the angled slot on the guard?

Yes, where the heck do they go? I've been looking for it, but apparently not hard enough. It's got to be here somewhere. Like I previously said, it looks like I need to take the bumper off...

BTW: Those angled pieces are called "B" and "C" in these dumb instructions...

This may or may not end up being impossible.

OK, I took a couple of pics and here is what I have.

This is where the bracket comes through the grill and mounts to the guard. I remember taking off the grill to mount the part and then threading the grill back on.

and here is where it mounts to the vehicle. This is on the right (passenger) side of the Jeep looking through the turn signal opening.

That little picture where they show the guy "peeling back" something (picture 9 - part F on what I posted) to get to it is misleading. There is nothing to peel back and I think its meant to show that it is on the other side of that panel.

I used part "I" on my pict-o-graph; the nut with the stick welded to it and maneuvered that through my fog light access hole (in the wheel well) to be able to thread the nut on the end of it. That's why they have that piece welded to it, to help you position that bolt while you thread it.

Hope this helps and if not let me know and I'll PM you with my cell number if its not clear.

Oh yeah, there was an empty hole where this mounted in the wheel well - turn signal area so It was designed for this guard to fit.

Reeeeeaallly sorry Marlon to read about your story...no words to say what I'd do to such bastards....while I was at the cinema last week, someone opened the trunk of my honda scooter and took away my brand new BMW helmet...I still have my blood boiling

 

[Marlon_JB2]

Yeah, I need to take my bumper off because I can't see that anywhere. It looks like it's obviously a part of the actual frame, so I doubt it was changed. Tomorrow is another day. Now if only I can get my jackstands from my cousin I'll be alright and I can rotate my tyres!

musicaldoc, I'm hardly worried about it anymore. All the neighbors know my window was replaced now and they still can't believe I did it so quickly. The people next door still haven't said much to us since...

Do you think one of your neighbors might have had something to do with the break- in??

Yes.

 

[timmer]

Yes.

Bummer, maybe you should let them see the new scatter-gun you got?

 

[Dave]

Yes.

Oh dam, and didn't you say in another post somewhere that you just moved there???

Keep a close eye on them and just be polite but not too friendly if you know what I mean.

Nope. Been here since February 1993.

I knew a couple who had a piton and sometimes left it in the car on the dashboard...you can bet that no strange neighbor would have got near that car ha ha
BTW....they gave it away when they had a baby

And after that, barbed wire and claymores on the perimeter with pleanty of sandbags and lighting and some attack poodles roaming the property.

I wonder what this block would look like with no homes on it? Probably just like it did back in 1940, I'm sure... I've heard that it was farmland.

I wish I could find some old pics of the neighborhood a long time ago. I love looking at old pictures.

Marlon, sorry to hear about what happened to your jeep. Sometimes no matter what you do, these bastards show up in places. Breaking it at the rear quarter also leads me to believing that they were after whole jeep. They wanted to least damage they could so it is also cheaper for them to replace it before they shipped it out of country..
