Install notes and evidence

JCR source wording says: Have a JL Wrangler with the steel bumper group and want to keep your stock bumper AND add a winch?. Treat this as a visible front bumper or bumper accessory install. Verify platform, winch/fairlead path, factory bumper state, lighting, recovery points, and tube/stinger/prerunner options before checkout.

Product-specific install PDFs or videos are not captured for this record yet. Treat this as a source gap before quote, checkout, or labor planning.

Fitment and build notes

Vendor catalog record promoted for browsing. Final fitment, install dependencies, and shopper selection still require review before checkout.

For bolt-on parts, the last check is the exact vehicle and option setup: year/model/trim, sensors or cameras, lights, winch or recovery plan, finish, related brackets, and whether the customer is installing it or sending it to a shop.
