Jeep Wrangler 3rd gen

I just ordered a bumper and winch. How difficult are they to install? I mean, I’m no mechanic… but I have basic tools.

What about wiring? Winch gets power from the battery? Led fog lights? Hopefully those just plug into the stock harness.

Take your time, use the internet and friends. If you have to buy tools, chances are you’ll need them for future Jeep Projects.
