Gravel guards?

Can some post a couple good pics of how the gravel guards mount up when installing a rear bumper? Haven't tackled it yet, but will do so soon and want to know. Thanks all.

There should be holes on top of your bumper brackets. Just line up those holes with the holes in the shields.

Talking

Gravel guard is descriptive of what it does. I have always referred to them as splash shields.

Anyway here is a picture of the brackets and the right side splash shield. There are holes in the top of the brackets and the two mounting bolts drop through the holes. The bumper brackets trap the frame and the holes up indicate which side the brackets should mount on.
