Alright so turns out that fender bender did a bit more damage then I thought and bent the torx bolts that hold the tow hooks, and winch plate, to the front frame. Found this out the hard way when I went to use winch and the plate stretched up off the frame. Because they were bent, and a lil rusty, only a few of them came out without fighting me. The rest snapped. And one evil nut spun off the weld in the frame. So creativity was necessary to get them all off.
So I finished cutting and drilling them all out today. But misplaced my 1/2-13 two and die so have to pickup a new one or borrow one to finish the job. Will weld a couple nuts into the couple holes missing and will be good to go.
Been looking for a new(used) winch bumper so I can ditch this plate so far everything is out of the budget.
Also, I don’t recommend this, but my arms were tired after doing all the other holes and it worked great. DIY drill press
