Remove a Bumper on a 1989 Jeep

Many Jeep models from 1989 come with a bumper already installed on the front. There are several alternatives to this bumper that can be installed as an aftermarket option. Some are purely for aesthetic value and cannot handle much force, while others are better equipped for pulling and towing. But before you can add an alternative to the front of your Jeep, you must remove the original Jeep bumper
Procedure:
1. Remove the four torx bolts on the bumper with a socket wrench and T55 torx bit. There are two on each side under each headlight on the top of the bumper.
2. Remove the two sway bar bolts using a 15mm socket. There is one located on each side of the bumper above the torx bolts you removed in Step 1.
3. Remove the two 18mm bolts using an 18mm socket. These are located underneath the bumper, one on each side. They are positioned almost directly below the other bolts you removed.
4. Pull the front bumper away from the car. Without the bolts attached, it will come right off.
