frame punch out

[druuu88]

So I went to install my new grille guard today... and got it all together/tightened down except for one thing.

There are these bolts that are supposed to run through the frame (from top to bottom), as another point of contact to secure the guard. There are pre-existing holes in the top of the frame for the bolts, but the bottom rail of the frame does not have a hole. There is an indentation which looks like it can be drilled/punched out. There is an indentation at exactly the same point on both sides, which leads me to believe it can be drilled or something.

Does anyone have experience with this? Whether for a bull bar or not, I was hoping someone could tell me how to turn this indentation into a hole!

Below is a link to some pictures

Thank you!

just to share my findings:

went to toyota stealership today and talked to one of the techs. He said those indents are part of the frame crumple zone. Makes perfect sense to me. He also also it shouldnt be a problem to drill them out.. since all it will do it help the frame crumple if you were ever in a bad accident.

hope this helps for future users...
