Default Bumper removal. How do you remove inner bolts ?

I was looking at my rear bumper and was wondering how you'd remove it.
I see 2 bolts on the bottom side of the bumper, which are easily accessed.
But, there are 2 more bolts up inside the bumper. How do you remove those??

First, tighten the loose nuts in your head. Then go to Google and or YouTube to help you with such nonsense as this instead of creating new threads with stupid questions that have already been answered.

And yet you don't whine when someone wants to know how to fix rear upper shock bolts... Interesting.

O.P. go for the 4 bolts on each side of the bumper.

You put a chain around the bumper, and a jersey barrier, drop it in low and gun it

Dont be a dick. Refer to a thread or be quiet.
Not every question is a new one.

No joke that's how I did it once. Got rear ended and it totaled my xj. I was trying to take my hitch off so I could scrap the jeep and couldn't get to the bumper bolts so that's what I did.
