I think this is what Joe is referring to. What's shown is only about 4" tall, they have quite a bit of room in the 6" of bumper zone above that to put a "frame perimeter". They'll be putting small/thin frame members in this area to meet the perimeter/frame rules, but the majority of the structure behind the bumpers is part of their mounting hardware.
