So I have a Baricade adventure HD front bumper, and just bought a Baricade front skid plate, so the catch is this skid “isn’t suppose to fit” that style bumper but it just has one tab on each side to go on the one bolt attached to frame, then another 2 attaches to crash rail. In order for it all to bolt on I had to not use washers on 2 out of 4 bolts on each side(reason being is 2 bolts are welded into bumper so I can’t get longer ones). Question is does anyone think this will be a potential issues/ weakness when doing recovery or winching? Could a nut get pulled threw the hole of the frame and rip the bumper off. Just curious other opinions I have no movement and cranked them down and used lock tight. Also put on slightly bigger/thicker washers on the other 2 out of 4 bolts. Also used like 5 washers as a spacer to make the bumper sit strait, if anyone else wants to try it. Otherwise looks great just curious about reliability for using it during recovery.
