I'm looking at making up a rear bumper.. With lights built in and recovery points couple of questions

1. How is your mounted on your truck? Just the 4 bolts on the rear of chassis or like Scottie suggested on dan_2k's build thread through the rear body mounts aswell?

2. What recovery points have you incorporated into it?
I'm thinking of something like a U bolt (obv stronger than a U bolt but that shape) passing through middle of rear bumper and welded up front and rear i'l try sort out some sketches of what I mean later

Eagerly awaiting a plethora of photos :brows:

Sorry for the random pic...


Mine go through the 2 plates, but i drilled them out bigger, welded a nylock nut in place and got a good strong bolt in there.
Only thing id change is to have detachable tow bar.

Edit, thats the mk2 version as it had the 2" body lift, just had to move it up.
