Jason/Jack,
Pictures as you requested
Factory bumper laid against DO bumper. Bolts in the drives side holes.
Bumper slid all the way to one side.
And all the way to the other. As you can see the holes don't line up. I've tried every which way to mount this bumper and short of drilling out the holes it ain't going.
As I mentioned on the phone the holes for the ACRO lights didn't line up with the brackets on the lights. I had to redrill them father apart on the passenger side to get the bolts in (bolts which I had to supply for some reason, why this $1.04 worth of hardware wasn't included is beyond me!)
After I mounted the lights I then found that they were drilled too far forward, especially on the drivers side. I even flipped the mounting brackets on the light to get them to sit a little further back. With the lights as far back as they will go they stick out the bumper leaving them vulnerable to rocks.
Driver's side
Passenger side isn't as bad but still isn't recessed in the bumper
Pictures of scratch and powder coat rubbed off of shackle mounts.
After all of this, this is how my $30K FJ sits, unusable!
So in summary:
•$130 Acro lights didn’t include relays, wiring or switch. This wasn’t mentioned and the $90 “wiring kit” was not offered to me when I ordered bumper.
•Mounting holes for Acro lights not drilled correctly.
•Powdercoat damage/ shackle mounts rubbed off
•Main mounting holes for bumper off by 1/8” -1/4”
•Instructions don’t mention the upper bumper support bar needing to be removed, what to do with the A/C line, etc. Very incomplete instructions. Luckily I was able to look at All-pros bumper instructions and see how they recommend handling the A/C line.
Now you have the pictures you need either refund my money or send me a new bumper ASAP.

As we said last week when you called and talked to Jack we would be happy to take care of you. We simply asked for pictures to see if the bumper was mounted correctly. Except for this post I have not received them yet.
It looks like either the mounting brackets were a little bent in shipping or you are putting on one side at a time as we explained over the phone. You need to put on both sides at the same time. Sometimes when removing the factory bumper the studs get bent. Worse case you can gently tap the studs a little more on center.
We wrap the bumpers pretty good before they leave the shackle mounts are usually wrapped in several layers of cardboard and wrapped again with shrink wrap.
I just spoke with Jack and he said we were waiting on your pictures or a call back.
