Yeah...but after seven years of abuse you have to yank em off.
Had three bolts shear off so yanking was the only option.

You really cant cut the bumper without cutting the frame because it wraps around the rear cross member on three sides.
And with both corners pushed in on the bumper it was pinching the frame rails.
When it finally broke loose the tension on the strap threw the eighty pound bumper about thirty feet.

I have grinders,cutting torches,welder and a host of other tools,but in this case it was best to just yank it off.
