Mounted mine on the bumper, like so:


Not the best pic, I know, but the only one I have that shows them.

I didn't have to drill holes, because I somehow managed to get a bumper that had holes for foglights when I fixed all the front collision damage from the previous owner.

Drove mine to work again this morning. Going to drive it home in the morning. Then probably to my sons baseball game and run some errands. Even tho about the only off road mine gets to see is when I drive in the driveway, its nice to know you can if you have to. Used it to pull an idiot in a baby blazer out of a ditch in front of my sons school last week. Thought he would bypass the line for pick up by cutting across the ditch and jumping the curbing into the parking lot... turns out baby blazers dont flex all that well, looked awful funny with 1 wheel up in the air and spinning like crazy! I think I pissed him off because I couldnt quit laughing. He drove off without even saying thanks!
