didnt get to work yesterday, had to help my dad move some computer stuff at his office in the morning, then helped a buddy from work move the rest of the afternoon.
i did get these plates though. it's 3/16" plate and about 23" long. i might weld 2 together and make a winch plate, but who knows.
on with the bumper. kyles idea worked pretty good. we'll see what happens when i get the tire mounted, but it seems to be pretty stout so far.
bolt and tube, the bolt is huge, our local ace hardware doesnt even sell anything that big. they did have 1" washers though.
tacked the brackets together and drilled a 1" whole, then positioned them on the bumper and tacked them on
then tacked in a 1/8" piece of flat stock inside so i'd have a 90 degree angle to weld on
cut my DOM down to 4" and test fit everything
then tacked on the swing out bar, test it and burnt in the top and bottom
then burned the brackets on for good
put the bolt in and tacked it in place, added an o-ring to the bottom, hopefully to keep the grease in, added one to the top as well
put the bar on
works really good for how simple it is. i have some leftover DOM from kyle, so i may put it in between the 2 brackets for a little more strength.
big thanks to kyle for the tube/bolt and idea, i appreciate it!!
