the salvage title has caught up to me. this was hidden by the stock bumper. I'm really hoping this won't effect putting the new one on...

i did manage to get the bumper on (with much difficulty due to the damaged frame) just as the sun went down, pictures to come in the morning.

here are some pictures,
as you can see, i was only able to get 5 of the six bolts in. this was because of the damaged frame. the 2 that didn't go in (one per side) were the smallest of the bolts. i feel pretty confident ill be okay with 5 per side.
I'm very pleased with this

* five grade8 bolts per side will be plenty strong
