There was a lot of cutting and trimming from the rear of the grand.The bumper gained my about 4.5 inch of cleanance from the factory bumper.It is mounted in hitch mounting holes I used the hitch side plates and flipped them from right to left and welded the 4by4 to that exo cage is next

The design was pretty simple but looks real tough...
Great job! Just need some finishing touch with the coating...
