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.

looks like it belongs on the front of a locomotive. ain`t a bad thing ever try stopping a train!?

not kidding here guys, i work in the oil field and at the shop we had a water truck come in that needed some work on the pump. my bumper is bigger!! hell this thing is almost as big as the bumpers on the gin trucks.

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.

looks good but i would probably want some thing to go around the head lights make i took more complete

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.

You weld on pipe line?

no. i work in the oil patch though. if you look at winch trucks they have this same style bumper. and i thinks it looks bad ass.

PSD-BLACK-CLOUD 07-26-2012 07:01 PM

I didnt even think about that. But it is the same style.

that's what i based it off of. and this is very close to one of the gin trucks at the shop.
