i bought my rlc welding one back maybe a year ago? it mounts the same way any other bumper. i had to open up the two wholes in the stock metal bumper under the plastic bumper. and it came with 2 sandwich plates that you bolt to the outside of the frame, its really sturdy i have pulled out countless people with it

Yeah someone already showed that site. I guess i could throw some shackles on that too but the brackets would cost the difference b/w that one and the backbone system. I don't know why i'm worried about that anyway. I'll probably get shackles before i get a wich plate anyway. I'm looking at the ZJ kit at K.O.R.- Radiator Support for ZJ Jeep Grand Cherokees by KevinsOffroad.com Hard-KOR Products

Hey....haven't read all the previous posts just thought I'd mention that RLC built me a winch bumper for my '96 Grand then I had it shipped to Canada which cost a couple bucks but I think it was well worth it. She's put up with quite a few hard pulls already and hasn't flinched. His bumpers mimic or at least complifent factory lines...in flat black my Jeep looks pretty steathy. Bumper fit pefect and was far cheaper than other mass produced units...James(RLC guy) was really good to deal with through ebay and was constantly updateing me about the production of my bumpers (matching rear)and choices and options I might have during construction...just my two cents. I'll try to post a pic
