I would not have bought it period "Do Not Use the D-Rings" to get pulled out all that will move is the bumper torn off. Its for a Mall Crawler looks only non functional!

No tie ins its worth scrap metal and has no use off road.If you pull with the bumper only using stock bumper bolts its coming off and maybe taking more of your front end off with it.

Couldn't he add tie ins if the bumper really is 1/4 inch. The six bolts in the 1/4 should work if tie ins are added for the frame and attached to both.

That thing must weigh a ton if it's all 1/4". I agree, if it's only the factory 6 bolts then it's useless for any serious pulls. $80

There is barely enough fastener to hold the darn thing on, I hope it doesn't just fall off & get run over. (well you could get to buy new wheels and tires anyways!)
