I agree - when it comes to HUGE stuff, mounting it is gonna be critical....my primary reason is to maximize cooling while avoiding damage from road debris. I do not want to restrict airflow (as some may have done w/ different products).

the only concern i would have about BOLTING it to the frame or radiator housing is that it might not include enough cushion or SPACE
in front of the cooler....cosmetically & as a protection barrier id rather have it attached to the grill.
