    Quick question about Small bumper conversion SECOND QUESTION ADDED

    Does this hole get filled? Body work was about done and I really hate to do more welding if I can help it.

    I started to say that's the hole for the rear valance panel to bolt to but it looks like it's in the wrong place. Did you have a stock Maverick rear valance on it before? I believe that hole should be about 2 inches further inboard. :hmmm:

    My bad...you obviously didn't HAVE a valance. When you put a valance on it that hole will not be covered up. You will have to fill it and put a hole closer to that pinch rail.

    Yeah, Think that's the bottom hole where the Rubber filler went under the big bumper. It's on both sides and was used by something, I was hoping someone would say a corner bracket from the small bumpers mounts there or something.

    Thank You all for your help so far, In my search on bumper conversions I don't see these questions answered.

    You will have to fill the hole.
