I used 37 1x1 mounting bases. This photo shows where I placed them. The grill guards were 14"x4.75" then used small 4 " zip ties. Can't get the exact distance with out removing again.

Nah Im talking about the tubular grille guard on your bumper. I have a different warn bumper and have been looking for an add on bull bar or stinger. If the one you have lines up with the holes I already have or with open space I can drill into I'm gonna order it. If you look at the picture I edited there's little red lines showing which distances I'm looking for.

If your going to possibly drill your own holes anyways. You should take a look at the Off Camber Fabrications grill guard:

Off Camber Fabrications by MBRP

Just a thought.
