I'd like to just get the A-Bar for now but if the bumper has to come off to install it, I might consider getting the winch and tray too.
Thanks!

It would very difficult in my opinion to install without removing the bumper. The bumper is not as difficult to remove as one might think. Just take you time.

Mobil 1 ESP 5w-30 does meet the spec.
https://www.mobil.com/en/lubricants/...l-1-esp-5w-30/
SAE 5W-30 engine oil meeting Jaguar Land Rover specification STJLR.03.5005 or WSS-M2C934-B. If unavailable, 5W-30 engine oil to ACEA C2 specification may be used.

Here is fuel filter change.

Sorry I didn't mention it being a Diesel, I thought the comment about the DEF injector would be sufficient.
Won't happen in the future, I forget their are alot of Gas versions on this forum too.

(Also I edited the post)

have you seen anyone who makes a DEF/DPF delete kit? I think I’ve seen EGR block off plates. I’m researching my
next rig and wondering if I would need to find someone to do a custom DPF delete pipe and as blue stage 2 tune
