    These Bumper Buddies bolt on using threaded holes or factory bolts on the bottom of most stock bumpers for a clean factory look, giving you a strong place to hook the safety chains. A common problem when towing with stock bumpers and no receiver hitch. Pictured on a 05 Silverado. waytogo_82a2dcfcbf91b28330a7f12007d2d5959649daa3.gif

    Sweet! Have you installed them yourself? Did you drill into the bumper itself to do tat? Any problems with corrosion?
