Schlud, here's the link for the rear bumper mount photo. (www.purenissan.com/bumper_tech.htm) The receiver hitch ties into the crossmember that held the tire winch. The mount when under load pulls against the mount and is very solid. Remember that our original concern about load rating on this bumper was what the factory recommended for it's given transmission. Not the actual bumper mounting points. HTH. -Steve.
