You will save money in the long run if you decide if your going to use an aftermarket bumper or not. The factory bumper may or may not be strong enough to utilize those bolt on tabs at $80 plus installation and or reinforcement. If your going to spend the money for another bumper at several hundred dollars, which will also have provisions for a winch mount and lights, then just pony up the money for the correct adapters and be done with it. There may be cheaper ways to do it but not necessarily that much cheaper for all the hassle and possibly not the same quality you get with the ready made adapters. They fit, they work.
