He has his own website: www.bluetorchfab.com Click on my DWEB gallery(Brian Wallace), to see the bumper he built for me. Very cool and very strong. This bumper has a total of 10 bolts. More pictures of my bumper can be found at: http://www.bluetorchfab.com/bumpers.htm   Erik G.

Do you have any pics of the underside, showing how it's mounted to the frame?   BW (Bwallace35) Member Username: Bwallace35 Post Number: 66 Registered: 07-2002 Posted on Monday, June 23, 2003 - 06:57 am:    I only have one picture that sort of shows the bottom. It's not close enough to show the mounts though. Dan smartly utilized a combination of the stock bumper mounts and the frame mounts for the hitch. The side "fairings" that protect the rear quarter panels are braced with a tube that runs directly to the frame. Each tube is welded to the bumper and the frame with a bolted plate in the middle to allow easy removal. Each corner sports nice thick skid plates.   Erik G.
