I would give it to you but it will be a little small. It's for my go-cart

Guess that wouldn't be the type of protection I need then

Here is my step by step plan

First start with a standard winch plate. I have seen them in the junk yards or you can probably make one with some plate. Plan for it now rather than later.

Shoyrtt · « **Reply #693 on:** Aug 09, 2007, 05:53:30 PM »

Next, add some tubing to protect the plate.

Next is the stinger (not too big) $That\'s Gay$

Protect the body and the lights:

Shoyrtt · « **Reply #696 on:** Aug 09, 2007, 06:00:33 PM »

Add some plate between the tubes for added strength and a mounting point for some LED rock lights:

Trim the front of the fenderwells and before you know it, it might resemble another rig I know.

OK I was bored.
I just realized that I desighned it to mount to the body mounts, or is that actually part of the frame?

*FFC* · « **Reply #701 on:** Aug 09, 2007, 08:25:11 PM »

Wow!

Shoyrtt, I'm diggin the simplicity

Gittinit, looks like you've designed it to mount in front of where the stock bumper was mounted (yes, on the body mounts). I figure I can rig up a plate to mount from the actual stock bumper mounts.... coming off the side forward...

Joe,

Planning with every intent to utilize the plan... Is progress

So I got the base figured out. It hit me like a ton of bricks

now I can use a grinder to cut and take several evenings, or I can try to find a chopsaw and do it up in about an evening

I plan to get the base in tomorrow

Here is another picture of under side of the winch plate. I missed it, what type of "bling" lights did you get?

They're in my Migo thread.... but here they are

Teeny little halogens.. the smaller and brighter the better I say

Shoyrtt · « **Reply #710 on:** Aug 10, 2007, 11:28:30 AM »

Just my

again, but you may want to run all four of those lights down below and then run two more up front. I found that with the up front lights, you really don't want them to actually be too bright. A nice flood light that points forward and to the side that doesn't blind your spotter seems to do the trick.

I do plan on running 2 more.. 2 up front, 2 in the middle, and 2 in the rear

I just gotta get 2 more

Okay, so I started on my bumper tonite. I didn't get much done in the amount of time it took me, but that's cuz all the friggin cutting I did was with a grinder

First I mocked cut and mocked up the mounts:

Then had to cut and clean the half inch of rust and grime off my base:

I started 'er up finally and turned her around (Notice the passenger tire

)

Matt said you busted yer ass you ok what happened so we can (laugh) i meen send cards and flowers

So after pullin into the garage straight, I went to disconnect my battery so that I could start welding, and whaddya know a stinkin MOUSE charges at me from under the hood. It was a good 6" body on that thing

So we got the base of the bumper up on jack stands using a leaf to hold it just right... NOT easy

Matt and Sierra helped me tack it up

After tacking it up, I touched up the upper welds then couldn't get the pita off.... but after busting my tacks

and hammering the thing off the front... I was able to finish welding it

*FFC* · « **Reply #715 on:** Aug 10, 2007, 10:58:12 PM »

It slides right into the front tubes just fine... not too easy and not too hard

I haven't decided if I'm gonna bolt it or weld it where it's sleeved....

Tentative plan.... but needs more to it I think... Oh yeah, and obviously bigger tube

What size tube are you going to use? 1" & 3/4 looks good for a bumper.
