The big plug I used was the same size as the under hood heat shield body plug. Not sure of the size, but that was how big the plug was that I used.

It was big enough to cover the wiper hole, but leave enough to silicone the outside and with the ribs, you can squeeze a washer up tight against the inside and be done. But why are we talking plugs...just shave it already!

On second thought it looks to bolt up perfectly on a basic tahoe/silverado bumper.

Picked up a denali bumper (suppose to be saving for drop parts :oops: )

All cleaned up

The frame doesn't look as clean, but after closer investigation it's all surface rust, no holes or deep pitting. Gonna wire brush and sand then apply a rust inhibitor and a primer sealer and be done with it.

If after sanding it's too bad I'll find another bumper brace or try and use my existing chome bumper (original plan).
Always say gotta love alaska and it's ****** weather:banghead:
That kinda looks like me, using my lawn furniture to sand and paint on!
