A. Use grade 8 hardware, which is obvious
B. The stock bumper attaches to the unibody rail with 6 bolts, which is not strong enough for an aftermarket bumper. So basically, make sure the new bumper plate attaches to the unibody rail at more then 6 points.

Okay, well I'll have to ask him about it. Maybe he could put it on and weld it or something? Because I believe it's only 6bolt..

Hey guys, decided to purchase the bumpers, not really sure what to think of them. I like them, but their just missing something so any pointers would help. We painted them with spray on rhino liner and already notice some spots surface rusting. It also seems like the front needs something covering the lower lip..

Heres the front during construction, and after completion




And of the rear...

The front kind looks like it's "smiling" like one of those cars from the animated movie "Cars".

Just not a fan of the "tube" stuff. Looks too..... I guess "desert race-y" for my trail/rock stuff.
