I'd like to attach them about where the "Jeep" emblem is on the front grill.

I suggest you mount them right over the bar... in your man-cave. But please not on the Jeep! lol

How heavy are they? I would think you would need a significant back plate behind the grill to keep it from breaking the grill itself.

How is this a "crucial" mod?

And as previously stated, don't do it. You're not Boss Hogg, and it won't look good

I would drill 2 long bolts into the bull horns.then cut of the ends off then drill 2 holes on your push bar and bolt them on instead of the grill.

Use the Hawse, I would find a licence bracket for said Hawse... and then mod it to your horns that way you're not vested too deep... the Wild boar grill would look way better and give that " Im coming up the GOOCH" look... your Jeep would look like its grabbing everything by the haunches and humping it into submission!!!! on!

I would fab a bracket from the hood footman loop to the front of the hood. Bend it around the front of the hood and mount them on that, using the chrome Jeep emblem as a stand-off from the grill. Then, when you open the hood the horns will be out of the way when you're replacing the cracked manifold. jk

Ugh... You know even the people driving the smart cars are going to be laughing at you right? I think you need to leave my state and go back to Dallas.
