Awesome, thanks so much and this is extremely helpful. I no longer have garage space, so having a clear understanding of what I'm getting into before tearing things apart just to visualize it is great.

The goal is to have an interchangeable accessory system with quick-removal since theft is a serious problem here.

I want to mount a camera slider or alternatively a light bar to the front of the vehicle.

I decided the best course is to CNC attachments to the end of the bumper bar that protrude downward and then secure a bent tube structure with the cotter pin.

Originally I wanted to be able to support 200lbs, so I could add a bucket seat and capture video, but I'm not sure that's doable, I'll have to live with a camera slider

Horrible photoshop example of what I'm shooting for:
