Aftermarket bumpers not fitting skid plates.

Here is the JCR skid with my Ace bumper, tucks in behind it just nice. On the blanket are the 4 brackets I removed to make room for attachment. I understand now that the square cutouts in the bottom of the skid are so you can place the nuts on the back of the front bolts.

Only complaint is the hardware they shipped does not look like stainless or galvanized. And they did not include any washers so I added 4 stainless washers to the setup. It seems pretty clean and minimal which I like not adding a lot of weight, and sitting so close to the frame might work with other 3rd-party bumpers as well.

You can see in the one photo the powder coat is not a match, Ace has a brown-tone black and JCR has a blue-tone black. But sitting underneath in shade and being so plain it kind of looks like a frame cross-member so in real life the difference is not noticable.
