Used a flat faced chassis brace that is supposed to be used on the rear of the chassis up front, found some 4mm button head screws, lined up the holes that are already on the Summit bumper up w/ the brace, drilled the holes, added some 10mm spacers to move the bumper forward, and tightened everything up.

It serves as my bumper for trails where a steep approach angle is essential. Otherwise I run my beloved Axial TR bumper. It is pretty strong for a plastic bumper. and it should hold the shackles on pretty well(haven't had to use them yet).
