Ok...no damage to the frame horns from what I can see at all. Let me try one more time...I guess it is harder than I thoguth to imagine this. Think of your ordinary Shrockworks bumper. Ok the front bolts got ripped out of the threads (no damage to the horns except maybe teh threads inside but I didnt have a chance to pull the skid off and look :p ). Now imagine the bumper pulled forward enough so that there is about 1/4" or so of space between the front mounting points and the end of the frame horn itself (so its just liek it was mounted to far forward) Now picture that but the bumper tilted in a downwards position. Again it probably is hard to picture but there was no visible damamge the the frame. The only thing Icould think of is that I got the bumper for the 2" BL version. Becasue fo this the mounting holes on the sides are slightly more oval/longer than regular ones would be. If they weren't tightened down enough then i could see how it may have happened. But they were tightened almost as tight as the shifter is . I don't see how there could have been that much play with the bumper.
