(ooops did I say smashole) anyway id like any info if you can repair it or maybe even add a d ring on each block and make it look symmetrical lol I realy haven't the need for a 700 dollar bumper and I doubt ill need a winch soon but the hole kinda bugs me on a new jeep if need be I might put a steel bumper on her but if theres a way let me know thanks my thought was holesaw a 3 inch round hole on both blocks and mount a d hoop on each if I could
thats a good idea but i believe behind those bumpouts there are round nubs of some sort that you would have to get out before you could mount d ring (i could be wrong) you may be able to find someone with a stock bumper cheap or a chopped one (selling this one for $100) shipping pry would be to much to justify it but people are always getting rid of stock bumpers cheep... just a thought

good luck if you do drill holes and put shackels in it post some picks...
