Re: The age old question - bumper mounting

What we've done the past few years is bolted some small pieces of c-channel with a hole onto the back of our bumpers, and then put the small pieces of c-channel on top of our frame, line up the c-channel holes with holes on our frame, and put a pin through them. As for amount of sides with separate bumpers, two years ago we used one for each for each side, and this year we made one set to fit on all sides. There really wasn't too much of a noticeable difference between the two, other than it took more time to make the singular bumper than the separate ones.
