    Depends on how you fab it but the main mounting are on the underside and side of the frame horn. 2 bolts underneath and 2 on the side total of 6 bolts since the 2 front bolts don't bolt into the frame. My tube bumper is the same as sicyota04. This is the trial gear bumper. It utilizes a 2 piece bumper, what I mention plus 6 total bolts that goes through the front for a total of 14 bolts.

    Other option is to create a new front cross member to mount to:
