Re: Best methods of bumper mounting?

1678 has used the snap latches shown in bstew's post but we last used them in 2014 and had to replace them because they couldn't hold up to the huge impacts that year.

I very strongly suggest the rivnut + bolt + drill driver or the rivstud/PEM stud + nut + drill with nut driver methods. It is super fast and easy to swap bumpers that way. Over-center cam type latches are also great but can be harder to implement properly.
