First of all I'm referring to the plastics on the front and rear bumper, If these aren't called bumper guards then I apologize. Anyways I'm taking them off to paint and I know the basic procedure I'd just like a more in depth knowlage before I dive in. Maybe there's a write up someone could point me to?
Thanks!

Well... I grabbed them, pulled really hard, and ripped them off.. I cut them where I had to.. save the effort, just get an aftermarket bumper

Btw the way I have a 2000xj

Thks I'll keep that in mind haha

Not by any means did i intend that as a smart *** either.. they really were a pain.. there were a couple of (I think) bolts/nuts that I took out first.. I dont really remember what held them on, but I basically just pulled on them as soon as i could.

there are several bolts.....i realized that after i pulled mine off(they were already coming apart)

I could only find 1(on each side) on the rear and two in the front(also on each side). But I can feel something else holding them

Rear one has 10 mm bolt/nut in the rear and screw in front. You need blanket and a pillow to see them.

Yea I just found the screw and annihilated it with penetrating oil haha. Gonna hit them all a few times a day till the weekend

Fronts are held on my 3 bolts, 2 up top and 1 at the bottom. The top 2 require you to move the fender lining out of the way.

Rears are held on by 1 bolt on the bumper itself and 1 screw on the wheel well.

All bolts are 10mm.

Off they went, thanks for the help everyone!

Thks for pointed out those top two man, found em right quick. Haha there was however a rivet holding the front piece to the mid on each side which a had to snap out. I'll replace it with a bolt though. No bigge
