I just installed my bull bar today, lot easier than i thought it would be. That's why i think i did something wrong. It only required 4 bolts to install. What are all of the extra bolts for? Don't i need to drill some holes for reinforcement?

I would venture to think there are more than 4 mounting points...

here is pic that i had before, it's at night, i'll get better close up pics where it mounts tomorrow. But you can see that the bumber is mounted fine, it doesn't rattle, and i've driven about 100 miles with it mounted with no problems.
Hey, Badass... do you prefer this new style over the older??? are you planning on adding a winch??

What does the older style look like? Yes, i'm planning on ordering a winch.
I've seen em before but dude, that thing is huge! You could get the bull, a cow and a couple of calves as well.
Nice

I got the bumper from a guy who sells offroad accesories on ebay, the bumper was 549, and 200 shipping. It was the same price from any other dealer as well. I guess it depends on where your located. I'm pretty sure i mounted it correctly. It took 15 minutes tops.
Well worth the money...
dude - I can't fathom that huge thing is solid/stable with 4 bolts... onto to the top... and only to the frame rails. something don't seem right there... and you want to add a winch also????
It appears that there are plates that drop down along side the frame where you have the two bolts mounting your bumper to the top of the frame rail….Is this in fact how it is? Are there any holes in those side plates?
Being that the original side gussets used in conjunction with the triangular top plates to secure the bumper to the frame appear to be missing I would suspect that there needs to be a few fasteners used to secure the bumper to the frame from each side, along with what you have already installed on top of the frame.
And lastly, where are your fitting instructions?
When all else fails, read the directions.

Wow.. I hope that statement doesn't come back to bite you in the rear end of your bull bar.
Good luck bud.

the frame extenders (side brackets, #7) had been removed from my truck as well (apparently to improve approach angle as it allowed the bumper to be mounted further towards the body) - we had to fabricate new ones to mount a 4+ bumper - fortunately, the triangular piece was still there

I would contact ARB in Seattle, their customer service is TOP NOTCH... they will be able to send you the instal sheets or give you a link to what you need to see if it is on right.
Boy it looks good though!
