Got a little more done.

It fits. Didn't think it would.

It fits.

Finally got to use the tube bender last night, first time and i only made small mistakes, the can still be used.

28" from the ground to the rear sliders.

I'm pretty sure I over engineered the bumper....I put the swing-out out and sat on the end of it to see if the bumper would bend....the only thing I saw bending was the frame of the truck....It would bend so far down I could stick my pinky between the bushing and the mount...if I wanted too...

Thanks, I just hope it looks half as good as what I want it too......I will never again ask why bumpers cost 2000 bucks.

Thanks. I made the cut even with the body mount in rear, you can see in the above picture where the busing is and where the body mount contacts the inner wall...one thing I was happy to find when cutting this off was a plate just above where I cut that seals the cabin from the out side so it...

Im kind of afraid kicking the arm out will put too much stress on the hinge.

Its in no way perfect bur when you're Dad wants to help you don't complain... got the big holes drilled, hitch welded in notched out the bumper for the sliders.

Yes it does. I plan to make a skid to cover them.....you can see them here.

Approach and departure angles be dammed.....work in progress check out my build of the progress.

Almost done with the mounts...i need to cut one more strap from the 4x8 sheet and i will be able to finish....by the way that 110 flux core welder started welding like a champ when I swapped to the .35 wire

Im a grinder not a welder. This little harbor freight welder is doing an ok job especially since it is running off a 50ft extension cord. I wa finally able to get the maximum use from a cut off wheel with out it getting pinched and exploding.

Started cutting the bumper tube in the shape i want, I just made a pie cut leaving the bottom of the tube to weld back together instead of cutting the whole section of and needing to weld a strap along the bottom. I think it'll work out great.

I have a predicament, I was planning on making the frame mount. I was planning on just making a box and drilling all the way through but the frame has a huge cut out on yhe inside and using through bolts wont do any good, should i just capture one side of the frame or go ahead with the box...

I dont remember the amount of play when I did the install but i do remember it was right in the middle of the accepted tolerance...I think I was being hypersensitive about the transmission after putting the shift kit in..the bump bump has either gone away or I've gotten used to it because I...

Got the bumper tube cur an made some patterns for the mounts an traced it over on the 3/16 to cut out tomorrow.
