Do your kids want to build me a rear bumper?:D I havent found out how we are fixing the Bobcat yet, hopefully they will just get a mobile welder out there.

give me an idea what you want, it might be difficult without a bender. They are about to start 4-linking a model A frame
we take donations
You really don't need much for a fairlead mount. You can see mine here...it's just a piece of 1/4" plate bent to a 90 and the fairlead is bolted to it.

Who's rig is that?
:flipoff2:
I still have it...well, what's left of it.:p
if we could just go back in time and kick ourselves in the junk for suggesting we tear them apart
How 'bout I just come by and kick you in the junk now and call it even... :flipoff2:
bought a piece of 5/16th angle that is 3.5" one side and 5" on the other. Plan on clearancing some for the winch and cable and bolting it to the bumper and fairlead.
Should be done soon, just have to go play with the plasma cutter.
Final one with the materials I have.

All of the force is lateral and vertical for the most part. No pushing or pulling, so the gussets add strength in the wrong direction. It's 5/16ths. Don't see it breaking. Only one way to find out I guess.
I don't know if 5/16" will be thick enough man. Might need to go with 5/8" or 3/4". I think you really need to go back to the drawing board on this and come up with another 7 or 8 designs before deciding.
thanks Fred. That will give me something to do in between classes and Corps ****.
There are no speed holes in it? What a POS....
On a side note, you might want to put a few holes in the center to allow mud to wash out, or put a slot in the front to spray out with a garden hose. I find my winch hides mud.
