little rear bumper action today .

made my brackets to the frame with 2 - 5/8" holes & 2 - 1/2" holes each . this should hold here on there good-n-tight ! 1st pic i still have yet to do the 4th hole . the other 2 holes clear the factory cross member rivet's . and the brackets are just 3.5"x3.5"x1/4" wall angle . . .

then test hung the main section of the bumper to make sure depth was good and tailgate thats BENT clears when down . then i marked were to cut the bumper to let the brackets pass threw for final weld both sides .
