Just make it strong. The bumper mounting holes in the ends of the chassis are not enough, tie it back to the round front x-member as well. I used a bit of pipe cut in half lengthways & u-bolted it onto the x-member then built forward from there.

Cheers

If you are going to use the round front Xmember insert a piece of 3mm wall pipe through it first as it is only light.
