Saw it on RAMs before. Just drill and mount away.

IIRC, there's hardly any clearance behind the grille to mount anything much less a pair or fogs. You can mount a pair UNDER the grille like I did on my D. See the avatar. The main bumper has the metal bumper structure right under the plastic skin. Unless you plan to drill into metal, I suggest you mount the fogs somewhere else.

Default ...drilling bumper...

Hey guys, (not to hijack this thread) but does anyone know if the bumper on my "98 D SLT is strong enough to mount my tow tabs for my tow bar . I like to be able to rescue my own vehicles if I have a problem(ie; get them back to my garage if the need arises). If necessary I can fab up a set of mounts from underneath but it looks like a lot of work due to the lower front facia...kingoftow

i would not trust the bumper to attach a recovery point to, you want that connected to the frame, otherwise you are liable to rip the bumper off
