My GV is my third Suzuki, and the eighth in the family - every one of these vehicles have had "bolt-on" bumpers, as have had every other vehicle I have owned or worked on.

It's my belief that it's industry standard practice to attach the bumpers using bolts - but as Max has suggested - a previous owner may have seen it fit to do otherwise.

I did exactly that on one of the vehicles I had - I redid portions of the frame rails on a Chrysler and could not be bothered with the additional work of fitting "blind nuts" inside the new box rails and just arc welded the bumpers to the rails.
