It's pretty easy to remove the front bumper.

  1. Remove the plastic "air dam" below the bumper by unscrewing and then popping out the four plastic connectors underneath, then two on the sides.
  2. If you have fog lights, disconnect them by reaching up and behind the bumper.
  3. Using an 18mm socket, remove the nuts that hold the bumper to the frame. They will be located immediately behind the tow hooks, if you have them, or the small bumps where the tow hooks would protrude.
  4. Slide the bumper off.
Here's a link to a writeup for installing an aftermarket bumper, but steps 1-11 explain how to remove the factory one, and it includes pictures.

2008 jeep wrangler hood problem

I just bought a 2008 jeep wrangler and my hood is lifting 2 to 3 inches off the frame when I'm driving on the highway in wind speeds over 15 to 20 mph. I've owned two jeep wranglers in the past and I've never had this problem but chrysler keeps telling me this is normal. What's normal about a hood that is lifting off the frame?

2008 Jeep Wrangler Sahara. I dinged the front bumper (front) right side. The black plastic bumper pushed in about 1 to 2 inches. Can I repair this or will this have to be replaced. Disgusted.

Actually try a hair dryer. If it will not walk out on its own drill a small hole in the back and push it with a rod easialy while you heat up.

2008 Wrangler Unlimited Sahara. Put wider tires on with after market rims, now when turn corners on ramps the traction control light comes on and the brakes grab on the front making it difficulot to...

Took back to store where bought tires and rims. They also put the computer on, but they drove with it attached and the tech who was in passenger seat said left front wheel not calibrated as the others so he calibrated all wheels to .05 at the maximum tire allowance. This has stopped the brakes from grabbing.

Said that the factory had programmed in for 16 inch rims. Jeep came standard with 18 inch.
Now everything working great. Don't know why dealership could not do this properly. Happy I bought tires and rims from a reputable and knowlegeable store. (Tire Craft) Thanks Mike.

Two front automatic windows will not work

Check the door connectors. Remember your Jeep was designed to have it's doors removed? Start there.
If no luck pull the dahsboard switch apart and reverse the wires front to back.
Unless you're over 36,000 miles it should still be covered under warranty.
