Just got them. The bar looks nice and solid. Wonder what are the 2 brackets used for?
The brackets are they are pretty amateurish welded....

I'd assume they replace the stock mounting brackets for the rear bar.
I agree they don't look real solid though do they...

I don't see why those brackets need to be replaced
Use the stock ones already on the car, I did.
