onr of the mount is right there where the fog lights are on a 95.

Oops, I knew about the bumper difference, but didn't realise that the bull bar also tied into that spot. Sorry about the mislead... :hide:

I sort of remember some one else messing with this and I think they needed the bumper and brackets as well. I have no idea if the lights are the same, I have never compared the front ends side by side. :shrug:

 

I'm waiting for someone who has owned/wrenched on both to confirm.

 

The 95 bumper is more solid than the 87-92?!? :blink:

The one I just took off of my 95 is farking tinfoil!! I can lift the bumper with lights and brackets with 1 finger!!

so this is what im gonna do im just gonna get just the bullgaurd and the mount for it if i need the bumper i will go back for it i think i can modify where my fog light is originally just take them out completly even if i have to cut the plastic. i figured it will if i hold on this i'll have a hard time finding another since to me these are rear to find. but whats funny is that all these 2 door pathfinders i see are just like kingman light blue too :). and that theres nothing wrong with the body wouldnt mind haveing one myself. thanks B for the replies

ended up getting the bumper, bumper brackets, bull guard and mounts and all the bolts and one signal light for 38.00.

 

That was one hell of a deal!!

 

Those vertical top mounts look odd though, I'm not sure what they would bolt to, but I like I said, I've not looked at the early year front ends nor a bull guard.

Oh, those are wierd mounts. :shrug:

 

Please use a good penetrating solvent, not wd-40.

 

When I touched up my ARB bumper, I degreased with simple green, gave it a light shot of some old primer (8 years old) I had laying around and then finished it with Rustoleum semi gloss (black) and it looks very good. I didn't put any clear coat on it so i don't know how long it will last, but I already told myself I am going to redo the whole bumper in spring...

yeah those are the fog light mounts that are sticking up. Look at my sigto see how it looks with the factory foglights i have 4 of them on mine 2 in the middle and 2 down below. I wishi wouldof remembered what the difference was between the newer bumper and the older ones besides the foglights. I thinkthey both use the same brackets not sure though i would use the 92- bumper for the brush gaurd i think its stronger and then u dont need to worry about cutting up your 95 bumper. just spray paint it all black i did that on my friends 91 and never had a problem with rust or fade again. Just make sure u send the rust off then prime it and spray paint it. We used gloss black rustolium paint. We also di the same to the rear so it matched. I personally think the 93+ front bumpers are weaker my 93 bumper dented pretty easy and my 92 one has taken more abuse with no dents yet. I think my brushgaurd has some small hooks that wrap around the top of the bumper either that or i am thinking of my old 93 brush guard.

I have since replaced the 4 front smaller foglights with factory bosche replacement ones just like them and put 100w bulbs in (made a huge difference). This must be a old picture from when i bought it because it doesnt have my lift or clear corners(8k led bulbs) or new headlights with the 8k hids
