I thought I was going to go with a bolt on solution at first, but with the direction we took on the tube bending, it made sense to weld in place. The front was a real bi-otch to bend because of the angle under/behind the bumper. The rear was difficult because of the two bends that make up the rear corner are so close to each other. They are hard to bend and just hold it up to match. We had to bend it as close as we could and then cut and turn the tubes to get a tighter fit. All the while my bank account was hemorraging, so welding on slowed the bleeding. Now that they are on, we could cut them out, measure them for duplication and perhaps come up with a bolt on application. That will be sometime later, probably after the wheeling season.
