Yep. Theres the 4 stock, then two off to the side.
When i get the winch and everything i'm going to beef up the front crossmember and mounting points. From what i hear they arent particularly strong.

i would make sure that you use some good grade 8 bolts to. cause if you just use some bolts out of the bolt ben they may be the weak link and snap when you hit something. but thats just my .02 cents. but love the look with it capped

Some things i'd do differently:
Solid piece of 1/4th inch instead of two seperate pieces. On the mounting points.
Beef up the crossmember.
And maybe take a bit more time on the end pieces.
They werent that thought-out and i ended up using scrap pieces and they werent as straight.

they didn't bend into ANYTHING when i hit that car going 30MPH.
the bumper practically saved this truck.
Only tweaked a bit.
But hey, what DOESNT get tweaked after a 30mph impact?

well it didnt seem like it took that much damage.
it WAS an 04' trailblazer.
the main force of the damage was taken in through the tow-hitch. the rear bumper cracked a bit, and the rear hatch was dented.
the front of the car was pretty jacked up though.
