Im trying to keep my topics seperated here so please bear with me.

I pulled my bumper off today so I could get to the fuel tanks. There are 3 bolts on each frame rail, all of which had to be ground off. What I found behind it was this:

Left side:2013-02-24 17.30.12.jpg

Right side: 2013-02-24 17.29.59.jpg

Do these look damaged? I dont know what the frame rails are suppose to look like back there. If they are damaged, is there a way to fix it? A section that can be welded in? I plan on mounting a larger bumper, like the protofab ones, and I want to make sure it has all the needed mounting points.

BTW, the flat piece of plate steel you see right in front of the leaf shackles was a welded in reese hitch setup that I had to cut off to remove the fuel tank. fun, right? :D

You're doing fine.., wish all posts were as clear as yours.

The bumper mounts are stock & can be cleaned up. However those thick plates on the sides & the thin plate on the right side/top are not. No idea what they were for but don't seem to be in the way.

----- (oops.., just noticed, leftover hitch attach points) ----
