Stock front cross member. 3 mounts on each side, super thin boxed tubing and some lightly tacked captured nuts from the factory 25 years ago.
I added 2 more supports on each side. I cut 45 degree cuts on a piece of 2"x2"x3/16" square tubing. Drilled a 1.2" hole and welded a nut to the back. I then welded them to the factory crossmember.
There was a dent in the frame on this side. Somebody filled the dent in the tubing with Bondo
The 4 extra supports.
1/4" plate that fits in front of the factory crossmember.
Welded in place.
It's not coming off anytime soon.
Addicted Off Road front bumper now bolts to the orginal 6 holes and my extra 4.
Still need to replace that headlight
Nice aproach angle!
