close up of the "original" bottom bracket, showing the slight relocation of the tie down. I kept the tie downs and tow hooks to give it more of a stock install.

Overall, the addition of two more mounting points eliminated 99% of all the wobble/shake. Obviously, given the body on frame nature of vehicle, it still shakes a little over bumps (as does the entire car).

I would definitely recommend the Hunter bar. Just replace the hardware (another $40 or so), and take the time to use the second mounting brackets they send out. And if your like me, take the time to paint all the new hardware with a black enamel and you got yourself one damn good looking grille guard for under $300!

pm me if anyone wants to see more detailed pictures or a better explanation. i threw this write-up together fairly quickly..
