so, did you not have the bolts that go down to the D.O.T. holes?....being that it was an earlier bumper?....or do you have a body lift and have to relocate the bumper?
My fender is a little "tweeked" from falling into a deep rut and the other side of the hill hit the ARB and pushed it up into the fender.....If there were any more braces on the ARB, I wish they would be on the "wings" of it.
