For Tom..the box beam section behind your tire is different from mine. I have a gusset similar to what you'd see welded onto a commercial truck cab to attach a mud flap. TM used the right part AND saved some weight there I guess.
How much weight do you think they saved ....3...4 lbs. maybe....why can't manufacturers stick to one plan....case in point, the faucet washer! How many different ones are there? Anyways...good luck with that and I hope you had them bend a flange on the inside edge so you can attach it to the frame....I guess you could use some 90° angle brackets for that also, but the outside edge should be fine to use.
