After the JY stop at the hardware store and get some normal hex head bolts to replace those torx ones you took out. I did and it makes taking the front bumper off a 5min job now. oh and grab those snap in nut clips off the JY jeep. they tend to snap sometimes and its nice to have spares.

Take a ratchet spanner for the rear bumper. I can't remember what size, but the mounting bolts are inside the bumper and they are a pig to get to with a socket.
