05 front bumper on 99

[njdriver02]

i want to put a 05 bumper on my 99, i have the headlights and all the other stuff from my old 02.

will i have to fabricate the mounts, i remember looking at the 02 bumper and the 99 and the mounts were a little different, maybe because the 99 was 4by4 and the 02 was not

i have a 4wd 01-03 bumper on my 99 2wd, so thats not a big deal.
ull need the new bumper with its own brackets, cuz if u use the 99 it wont fit properly, i found that the hard way and had to mod em up a bit

i guess 04 05 bumper is the same.

yeah the only change is in the valence deign. but it has the same shape and all

it'll bolt right on just make sure you have the correct brackets for the 04-05 bumper

i feel like an idiot because I can't figure out how to bolt the bumper brace on,

I see where the bracket bolts onto the frame, but the braces are confusing me, do I have to remove the two bolts that hold each tow hook and bolt the brace there?
