Rear bumper.
1. - does the bumper brackets go on the outside or inside of the frame? They have two holes which do not line up with holes in the frame. What is up with that?
2. - has anyone used a front bumper on the back of their truck? I have two front painter bumpers and would like to use them.
TIA
Dennis

I tried to mount it inside and it was to close to the license plate, and you won't have any adjustment, what little there is. Front bumper/frame is "narrower" and brackets are different.
