Thanks for the info.

I will stop and get them today. I was out at Rausch Creek on Saturday and almost put them to the test but the guy behind me finally got out using a different line and some spotting.

 

Would you mind posting a shot of the bumper from the side? Showing it close up like this photo? Seems the previous Jeep bumpers had visible overlaps at the ends. Thank you.

 

Like this?

 

Yes, thank you very much.

 

Good to hear.
I am picking up some new 3/4 D-Rings today and when I get them on with the bushings I will get a photo posted.

 

This is mine with the ballcock washer installed. They are sold in the plumbing section at Lowes/Home Depot. Someone did an a piece in the writeup section.
No more rattle.

 

I stopped by and picked up the D-Rings at Quadratec today and bought the Ballcock washers at Lowes. 3 are needed. They were $1.59 each. I used one full washer and cut the other in half for the other side. 2 were to wide to fit.
Perfect solution thanks roketman

 

Just curious about the dimensions from an engineering stand point.

The shear strength of 36ksi steel is about 21.6 ksi (0.6*Fy). I can't tell how thick that steel is... 1/2inch?

So, the shear strength against tear-out will be

T=21,600lbs*2*(thickness)*(Distance from hole to edge)

If that's 1/2inch plate & the edge distance is 3/4 inches...

T = 21.6*2*.5*.75 = 16,000 lbs. If you use a F.S of 2.0 that would be rated around 8,000 lbs.

 

Those are just about right. 1/2" thick and just about 3/4" hole to edge.
I will have to trust you on your math I just had a few beers so I'm just glad I had enough motivation to go out in the garage and get the measurements.
