Chelby-Ann 47 Report post Posted May 18, 2014 After installing the front bumper and valance I noticed 2 square openings on each side and have no clue as to what gets installed here other then the carrage bolt(s) that that came with the bumper hardware kit. I have looked for pictures with no luck other than some owners leaving them the way mine shows. Is there a bracket that connects the two together. Any help and pictures would be great. Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

69volunteer 84 Report post Posted May 19, 2014 where there any shims used? I ended up with an aftermarket valance and have a decent size gap (1/2") between my bumper with the bracket installed and the valance. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chelby-Ann 47 Report post Posted May 20, 2014 where there any shims used? I ended up with an aftermarket valance and have a decent size gap (1/2") between my bumper with the bracket installed and the valance. I have same issue with the gap. I am going to use the new brackets I have to make new ones to fit right. Making the bracket anhalf inch longer will work. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

buening 63 Report post Posted May 22, 2014 Same issue with the gap, but the valance is original but aftermarket CJ Pony front bumper. Most likely the bumper isn't bent correctly. Custom bracket is the only solution Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
