don. trying to catch up with everyone and everyone. been soooo busy with the girls and work. just bought our first house in a great neighborhood for the girls. safe for playin the street and our cars and whatnot. lotta projects around the house to do and makin the barbie jeep a true survival machine for allie is on my short list. just wired the house with full internet access and surviellance cameras. anyway i dont want derail the thread anymore but thought id just say hi and square d is looking macho grande!
i might try 3/8 plate. I've seen qauter inch plate take a good hit from a tree and bend a bit. nothing drives me more crazy then something not straight
Yep, the thicker the better IMHO. I think weight is really of little concern here. Bumpers are made for bumpin, not saving weight for the EPA.I would go no less than 1/4 with lots of supports. Get that little bend out of there by the winch, make it straight.My bumpers will be based on square or rectangle, not U shaped.
I just don't want to wind up missing a digit or limb. I can sometimes get in a hurry to get results.
I won't clutter Don's most excellent build thread with Dodge truck frame ideaers, experiences and simple math... Ima go do that on my build thread, and you can read it there if interested. Now back to building......
actually allie is just like me and HUGE daddy,s girl. abby is starting to stand up on her on and do the furniture surfing thing. Kara is good loves her fridays home from work with the girls. i have a slight problem with dogs, well busgy more or less. he is not doubt written the escape plan for alcatraz. thats a story for another day. ya the earth was flat for a while for me and i vanished but never outta reach right nate? being back in the field is great but i never sit down in front of a computer. plus we went through a few sleep months of teething and sleep regressions and i almost filed for insanity.
Norm, you forget one thing, Don's truck may have to "Ram" a parking curb at the mall....at the most!!
The sled dog "willed" your shirt on fire for that awful hair cut.....reminds me of that first paint job on the GLO diff. cover! : :(
