    i was trying to mock up my front bumper mounts (small bumper swap) but i couldnt really tell what one whent where. i have 4 total, 2 for each side. it seemed anyway i lined them up they wanted to hit the valance. then again im not really sure which ones go on each side. any pics or refrence measurments would be very helpfull. i know some drilling and welding is involved so i'd like to get it right the 1st time

    thanks:cheers:

    yea i kno im going to have to drill everything myself so i want to make sure its right. ive read your post a few times mava holic, i just feel better seeing some pics to go with it. i was just going to weld it all together but you make a good point about the lack of adjustability. what about the brackets themselves, im not really sure if im putting them together right and on the right sides.

    The brackets can only go on one way. Best bet is to loosely bolt them to the bumper. If you have them on wrong, you will see real quick. If you want to take a short road trip, You could come down here and I can help you put them on.
