got my new skinz front bumper today. was just curious on the bottom mount (not the front one) that goes on the bigger bolt just under the original factory mount tab, is the original bolt long enough to back out and slide these tabs in and tighten them down or do I need to go buy new longer ones? anyone have any experience with these?
skinz front bumper install?

so you felt that those bottom bigger bolts were long enough to have enough thread left after sliding on the bumper mounts?
Well, figured it out. the bumper I received is evidently a new style vs last year's model as far as the mounts are concerned. I went and looked at a buddy's 2011 pro with a skinz front bumper and the bumper mounts are totally different. they sent me the older version's mounting instructions. Where the lower mounts bolt in I found it necessary to get longer bolts, and had to take the pipe out to install the left side lower mounting bolt. 8mm x 40mm seemed to be the right size where the original was 8mm x 25 I think. It's a nice bumper. With the new, stronger mounting points I think it'll be much stronger than the original. Biggest pain in the butt I found was getting the front grommets lined up right (think I ended up getting them crooked). Anyways, if you get this bumper, go get you some 8mm x 40mm bolts before you start, I don't think the stock ones would hold very long as only a few threads would catch
just installed mine yesterday got to have the longer bolts
well, unfortunately I'm an idiot and don't know how to post pics. I know there's a thread around here on how to do it so i'll see what i can come up with
