Installing a new aftermarket bumper questions
Hi! I am in the process of removing my front bumper from my 2000 Jeep Cherokee Sport which came off great and installing an aftermarket bumper.
I am installing Nate's 4x4 Jeep Cherokee recessed winch bumper. http://www.nates4x4.com/ProductDetai...oductCode=XJRW.
I have the rear installed which looks great. Both I painted in black.
I broke off one of the steering gear bolts (which I am now in the process of removing for the past 3 hours), which is normal I read in the forums after I broke the bolt.
Can I drive with 2 steering gear bolts (top and rear. Bottom is broken) if I do not get this removed and installed tonight? I have work tomorrow morning but only 10 miles away.
Do I remove the air dam after I install the bumper?
Do I remove the wheel well lining up to the frame as I no longer have the plastic bumper guards after I install the bumper?
Thank you in advance.
