I would imagine someone chopped those off to try to bend it back closer to where it should be.

Explains why your parts aren't matching up perfectly though.

do you mind circling the area you're talking about with the space with the lower support bolts ?

Post #11 picture 1 you see how manageld that frame rail is to mine. Below the radiator support has a piece of steel welded in with about a 1/4 gap between it and the support. Frame rail is the boxed frame. The support that runs to the other frame rail should be flush against. That support is where a standard skid plate would bolt to in the front.

This is why i am saying it looks like the frame rail is bent to the left and up.

Full size zoom in the frame rails and compare to yours. You can see the differences.

Thought I posted on this, but don’t see it.
Your passenger frame rail looks to be bent toward the drivers side. The hinge point is probably where the frame rail leaves the main cross member under the front of the engine.

I have just purchased a Coastal Offroad Bumper DIY Kit and one of the first things you have to do is mounting a plate to the Frame Rail. The Passenger side Frame Rail is a little tweaked from what seems to have been a minor accident from previous owner and the Bolts I have from the factory recovery hooks and the plate I am trying to mount don't line up with the Frame Rail, are there any suggestions on how to straighten this out? rufus
Also I am pretty positive I am missing bolts from that Frame rail area if anyone knows what the (4) bolts are I would appreciate it.

Do you think it would be a dumb idea to clearance the bolt hole on the plate just to get the bolt to go in straight?
The tension would still hold the plate, I would think.

Nothing wrong with just making it work with what is available. That's probably what I would do if I was in that position. Or I replace a section of frame. However, most people are unable to do that. ;)
