Here is what I had to do.
First remove bottom rivets for bumper mount and drill holes to fit bolts.
Then leave the metal brace in the nose cone, probably could use fender washer if you wanted to remove it.
Next. Mount front skid plate bolt. Center skid plate. Install 1 screw half way.
Mark thru with marker or long drill bit into skid plate for bottom bumper bolts.
Remove screw holding skid, drill skid holes, I went 5/16 to allow some play.
Then install front bolt and 1 screw for skid plate.
Then install bumper, takes some love as the extra thickness makes a tight fit.
I got it close, then started top mounting bolts and some line up punch to get bolts up and thru.
Mount the bumper, then install your other 4 screws that come with the plate.
