Make sure you tell them you want that? Unless it's standard now I believe that's a "custom" option.

Very true...never hurts to make sure!

I just installed two Rigid Duallys on my stock bumper. Will I lose the use of these with this bumper? Are there mounting tabs for two Duallys on each side?

Be sure to let them know that you want it tabbed for your cubes. The side grilles can accommodate two cubes or one 6" single row bar or they can be left blank.

Guess what got delivered today?!!

It came packaged well and looks good upon initial inspection.

Now I have to figure out how to remove my OEM bumper and install this one. The Rogue didn't come with any directions. It came with a skid plate, four bolts, and two brackets/plates. No idea where they go.

For those of you who installed this yourself, can you give me some pointers?

And is it manageable enough to install by yourself?

Where did you run the wiring for the lights?

OEM bumper comes off pretty easily...let's see if this helps and I remember all the steps I took.

1- open hood and look down behind bumper...you will see rubber flaps to seals off area....remove the flaps retainer plastic plugs at bumper and frame

2- remove 10mm bolt holding hood release from bracket behind bumper and slide assembly out un cllip any cable retainers that are attached to bumper

3- remove skid plate from under bumper/engine

4- loosen but do not remove the 4 nuts that hold the bumper to the frame horns ( look at where the frame ends and the bumper meets) this will allow the bumper to drop down but not fall off

5- with the aid of a friend....remove the 4 fasterner from the bumper while supporting the assembly as to prevent it from falling or twisting sideways and damaging the truck (caution as its a touch heavy)

6- this should leave the area open for the new bumper to go on

7- unpackage the new bumper/skid assembly....using the 4 coach bolts (big ones with flat heads) pre-install the bolts into bumper so as to have some support once install starts

8- with the help of a friend...slide the new bumper into position and install bolts into frame horns....DoNot let go of bumper until washers and nuts are hand secured to bolts!

9- carefully snug up the bolts, but do not fully tighten at this time

10- slide under the nose of the truck and using 2 OEM skip plate bolts install the 2 triangular skid plate supports used to pin the corners of the bumper plate in place....do not tighten fully at this time as it aids in aligning bumper ....note: care must be taken to insure proper orientation of plates

11- move back up to the bumper bolts and again snug the up slightly to remove just enough play but allow for bumper movement

12- align bumper in relation to truck (left/right and up down to make even ) and the tighten bolts making sure to maintain alignment...take your time and check visually as this may take a few tweeks before it looks perfect

13- once bumper is tightened at frame horns return bellow and tighten supports fully....bumper is now secured

14- engine skid plate is next....remove the remaining bolts being careful not to damage mounts or have the skid plate fall on you ....caution must be taken as it is heavy

15- re install Rogue plate in the same place as OEM....I used the original fasteners and transferred the speed clips off the OEM plate to make it easier to re-re after

16- decide either to remove or refasten rubber deverters ....

17- re-install hood latch .... Note: supplied hardware didn't work for me so I reused the OEM

Then wire lights as per tech section.....

Note: the usual legal disclaimer applies here....you are taking it upon yourself to replace this bumper and assume all legal liabilities fully knowing the potential conciquences.

Thanks and that can be arranged . If I had of thought of it at the time I would have taken pictures.

I would be very happy to do it honestly ....just contact me directly and we could discuss it.

@6cuda6


For your step #10, can you post a pic of where the two "triangular" go?

I would love to but I'm no where near my truck for 2 weeks...once I get back home I will add pics to the instructions

I got her installed just fine with some help from the Wife Unit.

I hate to sound like a parrot and echo what everyone else has been raving about with these bumpers, but they definitely look way better in person!
