FreeJeep- Where did you get the bar for the fog lights? I've thought about cutting my bumber but didn't want to lose my fogs.
I made the bar for the lights. It's just 1" conduit that runs into the sides through holes. I made some brackets inside the bumper that keep the pipe from turning and sliding side to side. The bar and brackets are both mounted to the bumper internal bracing so they come off with the bumper. The wires also run through the pipe which helps protect them. I ran the lights to the existing fog switch on the turn signal arm via relay.
I'm still working on tweaking the brackets as there is not much room in there and they don't allow the bumper to go on exactly perfect (talkin maybe 1/8" or so). I'll take some pics when I take it back off to adjust.
If I were to do it again, I would move the bar about 1" forward for more rear light clearance. Also, if I had a welder, I would probably skip the holes and weld 2 plates to the ends of the pipe to bolt the whole thing in place externally.

what kind of front hitch do you have and did you install it yourself.. how hard is it.. i am thinking of taking off my brush guard and getting a front hitch.. make it easier to move my trailer around and i could get a winch that fits in receiver for hitch.. any ideas?
My front hitch is a Draw Tight brand hitch. Went on real easliy once I had the bumper shell removed. Some people said they installed it with the bumper in place, but I found it was easier to remove it. I love it, much more versatile that tow hooks IMHO.

So, how about a paragraph on how you did it. Sawzall?
I'll put together a detailed write-up with pics and part #s in the near future.
