I just cut my old ones off and welded on some of Rusty's. Factory are basically sheetmetal.

Broke mine clean off. Took a piece if 5/16 steel bar. Cut it to two inch lengths. Bent them in half at a 90 and welded them in either side of the mounts. They aren't goin anywhere.

Box them in with a plate on the front. Did that to my driver's side and it's been holding well.
