I have the bumper off right now and am thinking of doing something lighter than what is there, but while I would like to remove some weight I am not sure I want to remove it from the most rear position and further the wrong weight bias front to rear. I would like to see what you did. Where's the pic.

I am not sure, I don't have the stock brackets. I have some over at my sons house but don't remember exactly how they mounted

I plan on remaking all the popular molds and parts ...expecially bumpers and hoods. AND all bumpers that I make in-the-future WILL HAVE bumper brackets. When I made them before .. I made FG brackets for maybe 20% of the bumpers we made. But 20% was better than most companies ! .. most made NO brackets for any bumper.

I made it out of 3/4" flat stock and a little piece of round tubing. yup, looks ok to me. if you saw my front bumper bracket you would think I was related to Rube Goldberg. Like you say, only has to hold a couple pounds. My rear bumper all ready has been mounted to the stock bracket so I need something a little different if I change them.

Probably just me over-engineering again. I'll not tell my sis that you think her Bucky looks like an owl. She'd drive down there and kick your for you. I never asked what it cost her.
