Here is how I mounted my front bumper about 13 years ago:
- http://www.4crawler.com/4x4/4R_bumpers.shtml#Front
Just used all the factory bolt holes I could get to, bumper mounts, tow hooks and then added sleeves and large bolts though the front body mounts. I have since raised it 2" but it is still mounted nearly the same.

I built a bumper for my friends truck using a Trail-gear mount. The mount ended up bending so I welded on 4 more mounting points to the frame and bolted the mount back on. Its much more sturdy now. Unfortunately I dont think I have a picture of that I did.
