Fetch is right on, the welds don't look substantial enough where cutting them with a grinder shouldn't be too difficult.

Thanks guys. Yeah DAC, I wish whoever put that bumper on would have used brackets. I guess way back whenever, they had a reason for welding it in like that.

I just spotted a metal & fab shop about two miles from my house I have never noticed. Evidently they have been there for about a year now. I stopped in with Rusty and they said they could cut it off and clean it up for about $40. Since my tools are few I am thinking it might be worth to let them do it. However, with the brackets for my standard bumper, I am still not sure which holes they bolt to. Once the ugly bumper is out of the way, I will be able to figure it out I think.
