I was going to get both tow hooks too but to my surprise the left side was welded to the bumper bracket. It's supposed to only be bolted underneath but oh well. You guys can see in the picture that the skid plate is bent a little bit. But I can fix that pretty easy with the torch and a hammer at work. I have some work to do now finally that's for sure.

Morning!
Well since I was excited about all my new parts I came to work early so I could get them prepped and painted... Here's where I'm at so far.. Got the brackets all cleaned up and prepped for paint. And I put them and the tow hook in the hot tank.
On my break I'm going to bring the front skid in and hot tank it. Man there is a lot of crap built up on that thing.. And let me tell you it is HEAVY!

Man I really annoyed right now. I didn't know there was a different kind of front bumper bracket.. Go figure.
Does anyone have front bumper brackets from a 96 or older?

Yeah I'm in the middle of building mine now but for the time being I have a stock bumper that I cut to my liking. I got pulled over the other day because ocean city loves me so much and the cop said next time I see him I better have a bumper lol.
