Here's one that you really don't see up on Youtube, installing the Warn Elite Stubby front bumper without hoop onto a new 2023 Jeep Wrangler JL Unlimited Rubicon. This is a super sweet looking bumper that really gives a nice and tight fitment up against the front end of the Jeep, and also keeps the winch sitting nice and low so as not to interfere with airflow into the engine. We installed this solo in a few hours in the garage, and added a Smittybilt XRC 9.5 Gen3 winch to it. A few days later we also added a new set of Dobinsons Zenith LED Driving lights to fill up the panels on the sides of the winch and totally compliment the headlights of the Jeep. Now all the remaining halogen lights need to be upgraded to LED so that it's a consistent light color.

We did run into an issue firstly with all the hardware missing from the box (box had shipping damage), but Warn was nice enough to send out a replacement set about a week later, as they had to make a few of the brackets to complete the installation kit. We weren't so happy with the grade and quality of the large bolts used to hold the bumper onto the frame horns, and after snapping one, we went to the local Ace Hardware and replaced all 6 with Grade 10.9 stainless steel bolts to make sure that doesn't happen again, so I highly recommend doing that before starting.

Hopefully a few tips and tricks in the video help you with future bumper installs.
