Check out my build thread here:https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f2/cos...rogress-12020/

I did not even use the eight bolt in the rear section, behind the bumper. I have used the bumper in numerous extractions with no issue what so ever. I plan on adding a spare tire hi-lift mount in the future, and will add the plates then, just for peace of mind, really. HTH!!

My bad, here is the rest of the build, I forgot there were two threads!! It took awhile, sorry!!

Thats all the build pics i have, my old computer crashed and i lost basically everything. The bumper is made from 5 1/2" wide fork lift fork extenders, its 5/16" thick. I used 1/4" thick 2"x2" between the bumper and bracket. The factory 4 bolt hole bracket is an actually piece of the fork lift extender and the 2"x4" is some 1/8" i had laying around.
