Alright, after much consideration I have decided to remove the gas tank and get this rear bumper installed the correct way. I will be replacing all the Grade-5 hardware that came with this bumper and mounts to the frame with a
higher quality Grade-8 and a newer Grade-9.. I have never heard of Grade-9 hardware before I spoke with my fastener sales guy today. I told him I wanted to replace all the frame mounting hardware with Grade-8 fasteners to ensure that Jim will not have any issues during inspection at a Jeep Jamboree. I was informed that if I wanted to really go above and beyond that I could use a higher strength Grade-9. So I dropped the fuel tank and began to replace all the mounting hardware between the rear bumper and the frame of the vehicle with brand new Grade-8 and Grade-9 fasteners. This will ensure the rear of the vehicle will be able to handle any winch or towing issue Jim will ever encounter without a second thought as to the strength of his bumper. Was this necessary, no. Did it create a lot of work for me, yes. I REFUSE TO PUT MY NAME ON ANYTHING LESS.
