Default Nates4x4 rear bumper

Do you have one? More specifically this one vvv

I'm looking into getting it but what I'm wondering is what the frame mounts are like. So if you have one could you shed some light on them since the website doesn't.

it mounts to the factory location and uses a nutstrip that attaches to the frame underneath where the hitch usually bolts too. 3 bolts on each side, i would say good luck ripping that off, you could hang your jeep from it lol.
