Finally got the T35 bit in the mail. Tools required to take apart Gen 1 front bumper: Torx T35 for exterior fasteners, 10mm socket for interior brackets, 1/2" socket for bumper pads, 5.5mm socket to remove mini grill. WTF were they thinking? Some engineering meeting: "let's make this a challenge, using odd sizes & mix metric with sae"?

I just swapped a 2021 jeep gladiator bumper onto my kids 2015 wrangler, just shut up 'cause I had to use 3 sockets sets and an impact socket set to get that apart and back together again, plus redo the wiring for the fog lights!

Just spent a couple of hours rotating tires and replacing lug nuts. Knew this day was coming, but the OEM lug nuts finally deformed enough that I had to hammer a socket on more than half just to remove them.

Good times!
I ended up buying a 22mm deep socket to get the swollen 21mm oem lug nuts.
