Awesome! Looks nice. Do you have a wider, side-shot of your truck with the new setup?

That's a really sweet setup. Where do you go about getting parts like that?
I've never had a project go bad with a big jug of Mountain Dew on hand!

Get rid of those junk carriage bolts, they're worthless. Get some grade 8 fine thread fasteners, use a washer on both sides and either a nylock or mechanical locking nut.
I think there should be an additional gusset in the center of that plate to wrap around the tube as well, but it may be fine without.
