Hey, was under my truck and noticed what seemed to be FRONT bumper bolts missing... I checked a few more at the dealer and they are all the same... I included a picture, this is the mount as if you'd be looking at the truck from the front without the bumper... (front bumper)

My next mod is gonna be the FBB (Front Bumper Bolt) Mod... LOL... gonna order some more bolts and see if they'll work ...

 

That might be a problem if you decided to use the stated 5000lb capacity of the bumper with a ballmounted on it.

 

HAHAHA, or updating first post... FRONT BUMPER...

 

I just checked. I am missing the upper-inner bolts, but not the outers. I noticed the outers' holes did not line up either.

I am not going to touch them. The front bumper is for looks anyway.

 

They needed to cut costs somehow. Are you going to put the FBB mod in your signature?

 

I will once it's done, HAHAHA

 

Maybe that is where the tow hooks mount?

 

Negative, tow hooks mount to the lower bolts, and one bolt to the big looking drop bracket thinger off the front of the frame... Have the hooks in my crew, just haven't put them in yet... Soon I'll find time...

 

My SLT 4x4 was ordered with the factory Protection Package. The inside upper FBBs are "Not Installed".
I guess that Savings means that they were able to refrain from scrimping somewhere else...

 

But, boy do those Tow Hooks look substantial...
First time I use them, I'll have to be careful not to yank the entire Frame off from under the Truck...
