So my husband says one of the biggest things is that there's slots on the left and right of the bumper that fit the hilift jack perfectly. He designed the bumper to fit the hilift exactly. The jack tongue I guess you'd say, rests on a hidden tube in the roll pan portion of the bumper.
The steel under the license plate is 3/16". And the steel where the bumper attaches to the frame is 1/4". All standard material from fab shop.
6 bolts are used to attach the bumper. The Nissan frame has 6 threaded nuts to mount to (2 of which have finer threads). The bumper hangs with these 2 bolts with finer threads. Hardware with grade 8.8 or above was used.
Another big deal my husband says, is that the fabricator was able to match the exact shape of the rear of the Nissan. There's that bulge back there that the fabricator matched so the bumper has a slight bend which really adds to the look. That part took him awhile!
Hope this helps!
