i am confident that the frame will hold it. i have a piece of 1" X 3" flat that goes into the frame and bolts down to where the tow hooks were. then that is welded to a piece of 7" X 3/8" flat that goes across the frame. i'll put a picure of the mounts on here so you have a better idea.

Its fabed up really nice. you do good work. I just think it is a bit to long. But I bet it makes a hell of a work platform. It still looks way better than the stock crap.

psd blackcloud. thank you. well it wasn't entirely planned to stick out that far. when i was breaking out the plates between the frame and square tube i made them a little to long. but for being my first one i think it turned out very well. if i were to do it again i would change a few things. it looks alot bigger than it really is because of the space on the sides in front of the head lights. but this is more of a "oil field" style.
