04-05, rectangular fogs, and have their own bumper. 06-08, round fogs, and have their own bumper.

it bolts up differently to the frame. an 04-05 bumper will not fit an 06-08, but i remember someone saying you could bolt the 06-08 bumper to an 04-05 with a little modding?

The bumpers bolt up the same, but the bumpers and their bracketry are different.

Yes, they are different, as others have stated. The bumpers are different as well as the mounting brackets. However, it can be done. Mine's an 04, and check out the bumper....
