Re: Bumper Mounts

The Tips and guidelines has some discussion on this subject. I saw all kinds of attachements last year but the ones that impressed me the most used a piece of aluminum angle drilled for mounting holes with bolts through the bottom of the chassis. The best one used eye bolts on the back of the bumpers which simply dropped over threaded rod on the chassis and attached with butterfly nuts. No tools needed and it only took a minute or so to remove for weigh in.
