Aftermarket bumper mounting question
 
So I have an aftermarket bumper I’m gonna put on, and I know the OEM bumper has the studs towards the top that you can use to mount them, but the new one I got does not have them, so do I just use a nut and bolt? Or do they sell hardware specific for it? And sorry if it’s a dumb question, surprising this is the first time I’ve ever swapped bumpers lol thanks for any info!

I think the intention is for you to use nuts and bolts. I would probably put in a Rivnut or something like that, it would make install/removal easier in the future. Or some way to put a captive stud in the bumper.

i use nuts and bolts with very large area washers. the idea of a rivnut crossed my mind but without a aluminum backing, i wouldnt trust it to hold for very long.

Welp this doesn’t sound all that fun lol should I go stainless or should they be protected well enough not to rust a ton

Stainless always
