Right....so anyways, what do we all think?

 

[legoms013]

.

My thoughts exactly.

 

[RollinWOT]

So what's the big deal legoms?

 

[legoms013]

I remain skeptical, and that the results will cause my eyes to bleed. That is of course unless you provide redeeming pictures.

To each his own....

If it turns out like this I will never talk to you again lol

GROSS! Seems kinda like a copy of the classic Jeep surf board racks. But no, mine isn't going to be cumbersome and ugly. It's a tight fitting but heavy duty bumper. If I wanted to ram things for a living, I'd just get an M1A1.

So are there any tips or ideas from you guys that I should add before I weld it all together?

winch plate, light tabs, clevis mounts, receiver? who knows. make sure you at least have safe tow points..

 

[RollinWOT]

We planned on integrating a reciever mount so I can have a slide-in winch plate. If my cousin can pull an F350 with a slide-in winch plate I can too. Light tabs! I almost forgot those too, thanks B2. And I just got a couple really good tow hooks that I painted black with Grade 5 bolts through them. What thickness of flat iron should I use for the tow hook tabs though? They have 5/8" gaps between each eye of the hook so maybe 1/2"?

Go with grade 8 bolts and hardware

 

[RollinWOT]

Yeah I know that, but Grade 5 was just what I had lying around so I plan on skipping Grade 8 and going straight to Grade S hardware and bolts.

Ok sorry bout the slow response time, been dealing w/ family issues lately Anyway heres a pic of the one we made for my cousins Ranger. It has a reciever where he can slide in a winch. Mine will be almost an exact copy.
