I don't know if that bumper is factory or custom, but when the bolts aren't visible they are usually welded to the back side. Looks like you will have to drill some holes, and Lowes has a good selection of hardware.

Turns out there's a bracket that runs top to bottom behind the bumper that bolts to the frame horns. I bit the bullet and drilled the holes in the bumper for the installation. All but one were in a good spot. The 4th one is going to be tricky because of the aforementioned bracket. I need a pretty short bolt for that one. I used some nuts and bolts I had laying around for now.

It seems to be solidly constructed. I didn't get the chrome because, for the money, I didn't think it would last. I'm going to put a piece of angle iron between the two light-mounting tabs so I can put 2 more Daylighters on there. My brother has them laying around from when he had a Jeep so I may as well install them.

I finished the job by going to Home Depot. I picked up $1.52 worth of carriage bolts and nuts. I painted the heads of the carriage bolts black. Looks much more 'professional' now. Gawd forbid I ever have to remove the thing. The nuts are going to rust onto those cheap bolts in a heartbeat and there's no way to grip the heads of the carriage bolts. I guess that's what torches are for.
