Default Missing Hardware

so my terrafirma front and rear bumper came in the mail a few days ago and I finally got the chance to open them up but what I found was a bit confusing.. the front bumper seemed to come with no mounting hardware whatsoever. and on top of that both of them lacked instructions. should I just use the stock hardware on the front or should I contact Atlantic British?

TF doesn't include instructions. Contact AB for the missing hardware.

did the front bumper come with the washer bottle guard? if so it should have come with some small fasteners. if not it doesnt come with anything.
if your going to be winching I would upgrade the factory fasteners with something grade 8

Good luck with your installation of the front bumper. I mean that sincerely. My luck wasn't so good. You may want to read through my thread linked below.

yes; i was going to mention your post. you will want to inspect the bumper closely, I had no way as many the problems of mln01.
I can slide mine on and off without using a tree, but i did have to clean some welding slag that was left on the frame horns.
Looking at the pix that min01 posted i don't know if those holes were ever going to line up.

well I had a few fitting issues but nothing a few good kicks couldn't fix, got the bumper on but yes I did use stock hardware I will be upgrading soon. i just used what I had at the time. the bumper seems a little less flush with the light on the right side but hey.. it's an off-road bumper its not going to be perfect. rear bumper fit like a glove though.

I'll try that. I can completely slide my fingers through the space on the right but on the left its about half that space
