Oh and i put a leveling kit under the front and it set the camber waaaaaaay off. Puttin the bumpeer on helped a lot still too much positive though. And i thought about a vice just dunno yet.

You could install a VERTICAL receiver-tube that would be pretty much un-noticable and put a vise on a vertical tongue to be dropped in when needed and hidden away somewhere inside the bumper when not.

Also, you could make some trap-doors with chain and strap boxes underneath.

And, like I intend to do, incorporate battery-boxes within the bumper.

I need to get started on our project soon.

Freakin' ni-hi-hi-hi-hi-hi-iiiiiiccccee!!!!

How about a spike a top each side for mounting heads?

Could extend the grill portion out to incorporate the "cow catcher" look, might avoid some of those accident crusher liabilities with some deflective force.

Although we're talking front, may want to place a few lead bars under the rear bumper to balance the load.... you don't want to do an emergency stop and endo!

Just kidding out of jealousy!!! :hail

How about these hooks:

or you could put these in for straight chain.... the ones indicated are only for 3/8 chain, but they get bigger.... don't know what kind of load you really want to put on that bumper though:

and jokingly mentioned earlier.... rubber d-rail or block:

you know.... for pushing evidence into a ditch, over cliff.... whatever. :angel:

The winch and pulley system would be an awesome addition too.

Looks great as is too! Great work!! I can't even cut wood straight, much less do something like that!


You want these...
