EVO MFG 1/4 Pounder Bumper Install

Ok this thread is more for the sway bar disconnect drilling and remounting. The pictures in the instructions are kinda dark, so I went ahead and asked MTG where his was mounted. Also called EVO MFG this morning to confirm as the instructions don't mention removing a bolt to drill the 1/2 inch with a 1/2 inch drill bit.

Here is the bolt you first remove to rotate the disconnect.


Here is the bolt you remove to drill your 1/2 inch with your 1/2 inch drill bit.


Basically your just boring out this section to make the bolt from the rubber hanger fit in this location.

Also here of some pics of how much I cut from the cross member. I don't know if it is just 2012-13 JK's but the area where you want to cut is different and more beefed up it seems from the instructions pictures.

Passenger side


Driver side, I will also now cut of the original mounting location for the evap canister

this reminds me I need to pull my bumper off and trim a little more of the frame, just couldnt find my grinder at the time and was using a smaller sawzall which took forever.

I'll probably cut that cross member this week in preparation of my bumper hopefully next week!

Nope. I was going to buy one from someone local but they keep flaking so I will pick it up when I get to EVO for the bumper.

And I will wait to cut my frame and do it all at once.

Right on
