good start but you need to tie into at least 2 to 3 more holes on the the frame. those 4 holes wont last long.

And this thread is going to Mod Tech.
And stop NOW, the bumper you are building is not safe, do more research.

That is 0.125, isn't it?
That's strong enough to hold on your bumper stickers, anyway...

The mounting plate is just butt welded to the bumper. So basically from the photos we've seen there are just 2 welds holding the whole thing on. 1 good tug and it goes flying, even if it's mounted all the way down the framerail.

Yeah, but there are tow hooks. If you get stuck good and try to pull out with those hooks, there could be carnage.

Huh?
Well, if they're not going to be actually bolted to the bumper, I guess there won't be a problem...

I'd at least use bolts to attach the hooks.
Toss some factory brackets underneath.

That thin stuff would be cool for some lower door panel thickener thingies.
Or a box for the back.

that is because they are not boxed at all which would cause a stock bumper to fold like a taco if you tried it
