Then bashed the remainder of the cans off with a hammer.
There was some residual weld left on the bar so I ground that off with an angle grinder, amazingly without setting fire to anything. Some metal primer and black bumper touchup paint (damn grinder) and the recoveries were a dead easy bolt-up.
Topped off with a couple of Ironman shackles.

That actually makes the mopar bar look good.
For future reference you can buy 4" 100mm cut off discs for the angle grinder, they are about 1mm thick and cut through thin(or thick) plate like butter. Would save a heap of time and money on the little dremmel discs.
