Can I use this with just the bumper without connecting the back plate?

You can, but it won't really be secure. Most bumper-only cases are a little smaller than the size of the phone so they stretch and fit snugly. The bumper only would likely get bumped off-line.

No. The bumper would be too loose without the plastic back in there. The plastic "back"actually covers the sides too. the bumper secures it in place

No, the bumper and the shell work together to fit on the phone, the bumper would be too loose.

I believe you need to the the OEM hitch. I have Uhaul hitch and rear bumper will not fit, so now I have a large paper weight. I was not able to return it. True fully it is just for cosmetic looks, since it will not provide much protection

I'm no expert, but I'm going to say no, unless you're willing to buy an after-market bumper suitable for your make and model, able to mount the winch and plate. Good luck on that. The only quick and dirty way I can recommend is to buy a front mounted tow hitch and purchase a winch mount adapter that slides into the receiver. If you already have a tow hitch mounted at the rear, you can do the same thing. Your just winching from the rear. I bought one for my Jeep, but bumpers and adapting the plate are not an issue.

I bought the plate because I had a different bumper. Not sure if you would need one not familiar with that bumper. Sorry couldn't be more helpful.

I would not get this unless you have the body armor bumper . I got it with a rigid riddge bumper and it doesn't fit well at all

It mounts to the bumper. So you do not need the existing inserts to bolt to.

No you cannot, unfortunately. Due to the size of the chassis the components are very difficult to get to without harming the chassis.

Yes, the buttons are accessible without the bumper, but you will want to use it. The bumper makes little to no difference in the dimensions of the case itself and looks good on it.

Not unless it's thin AND the bottom is completely open. I have a very thin bumper, and I have to take it off.

I don't. believe so, the mounting is totally different. The thickness in the bumper is different.

Your question should be posed to Smittybilt (888-717-5797). Having said that, I doubt you will have an interference problem. The skid plate bolts to the cross member from the bottom up with only two bolts. Install the bumper first, though, so the plate does not get in the way of the bumper installation. If you put the bumper on already, you are on Easy Street! I removed the lower cover too, and it made access to tighten the nuts very convenient.

Hi Brad, no the bumper does not need to be removed. It bolts to the frame and hangs just below the bumper. It was a 15 minute installation.

Hi, The standard screen protectors can be used without the bumper getting into the way at all! It is a very nice fit. I bought two of these and both for just nice. Hope this helps :)

You will have to remove it, It mounts where the aftermarket hitch mounts. This bumper has a hitch, witch works just fine.

Yes you absolutely can put that bumper on it even without lifting it! It is a great bumper it literally saved my life! I hit a stopped car on the highway at night with their lights off at 60mph and I walked away! I could not indorse this bumper stronger!!

No not for the rear bumper. The vacuum pump would need to be relocated for the front bumper

I have a thin plastic case which I don't have to take off. A thick bumper case may need to be removed.
