Sue - I had difficulty getting the screws through the plate, delete, and bumper cover, but after some wiggling everything seemed to work okay. Of course there's no way to see exactly which holes I screwed them into, but I feel confident it was the same on each side. Regardless, as long as it looks good from the outside and fits snug, who really cares right?

Personally I would want all four bolts. What happens when you back up and just the skid catches on an object? Seems like it would at least bend the plate and maybe even shear off the top bolts and dent the bumper. I got all 4 bolts in place but it certainly wasn't easy - clearly these things were meant to fit TIGHT. I guess this is something you chalk up to hand-built variances?

I wish I was there to look at it with you, I honestly didn't think mine would fit either until I monkeyed with it for an hour or two. Not saying I could make it work, but I would hate to send you off to cut something if it turned out not to be necessary later.
