Default Lod bumper torque question

Just got my new lod shorty front bumper, skid plate, and warn m8000 in. I was wondering how much foot lbs torque to put on the bolts that hold the bumper on? and how much torque on the bolts to the skid plate and winch mounting bolts also.

Lots! Seriously, one challenge is couple bolts hard to get at beyond weak tightening (im just watching those but no loosening yet). I am talking lod mid front but think boltup is same.

I called lod thet said thet didn't have a set specification for the torque on these. I was just wondering what everybody used. I'd hate to break the bolts. Hoping to get them on this weekend.

Don't over-torque...I did on my rear (75 ft lbs for the stock bumper bolts used on either side and 50 ft lbs for the tire carrier holder bolt)...sheared them both off. Thank God for easy-outs!
