pulled the rollpan off now im very mad!

Best way is to weld a plate on both sides then put the piece in the liddle n weld that in on each side. Gonna be strong but ypu will need longer bolts

truthfully not looking for strength just needs a bumper on there, wont use it to pull anything the truck will pull the boat with the receiver hitch. maybe I will just dust the welder off and build a bumper since its all gonna be a custom install now anyway! If I could find the person who actually did the cutting I would..

Lol. But yea the oem bumper is heavy i imagine so it would jeed to be reinforced eitherway so it doesnt break off while driving and hitting a bump

I am thinking about just keeping the rollpan on there to cover the cut frame and using the existing receiver hitch to build off of for a one off tube bumper setup. maybe add a swing out spare tire carrier. Anybody ever do that?

Coun't you leave the roll pan on and cut & trim out a hole for it to work through??? You could always drill new holes in frame or hitch to relocate slightly to allow for this custom setup! Get a flip up plate, like so.....

I could do that but too much messing around the gas tank. I am gonna keep the roll pan but build off of the hitch. to look something like this.

glad to know now how these go on cuz now i am not doing it

Could you not get a lower drop hitch or space down the hitch mounting with a block drilled to match and longer grade 8 bolts?

Either way.... good luck!! IT's going to be a project no matter how you tackle it.
