Hey guys,
I bought a Everglades takeoff from a forum member, it came with all the hardware that attaches to the frame, but apparently there are parts that are installed to the vehicle that the main brackets interface with. It looks like a slot over a pin, to prevent side to side motion maybe? Do I need these brackets? All of the load is in the same 3 bolts per side that it re-uses (those brackets are different too though, looks like it ties everything into the bumper). Do you think this is all for the purpose of the crash requirements, or do I need to find these parts?
The first picture is a view of the back side of the bumper, you can see the slotted piece that protrudes into the frame horn. The 2nd picture shows the front of the vehicle, where the winch plate mount interfaces with that lower bolt/pin that is part of the bracket that I don't have.
@flip do you think I need these, or is it possible to get the missing parts?
