The issue is the bumper must be flexing enough to allow it to drop down below the chassis plate but it is not pulling the screw out of the front bulk head. The are where the bumper gets sand-wedged between the bulkhead and chassis is what is coming out and dropping below the chassis.
I have to dig the dirt out of the front screw hole, remove screw still that is still holding bumper to bulkhead, loosen screws that hold the bulkhead to chassis so I can get bumper back in place and then screw it all back together.
This is happening almost every run.
Again, not down on the truck, it works great, just need to get this issue resolved.

I haven't seen that issue before. I just tried to replicate it on some of trucks here and the only truck that the bumper popped out on was one where the A block was stripped. I can't see how the bumper can flex enough over that short of a distance to go from between the chassis and bulkhead to under the chassis unless the A block is stripped or the bumper isn't tight against the A block. Make sure your A block isn't stripped, if it's not make sure your bumper is wedged between the bulkhead and the chassis and that it is all the way up against the A block.
