From what I gather you need to buy the adapter with the specific chuck. I’ve called a couple places who sell adapters and it’s a crap shoot.

I just think Dave is at one with the force and his longing to shed off the tenants of the world and go minallistic is certainly reflected in his 1,000 HP Chevy Duramax truck, and 5,000 square foot mansion with the wife's closet that they privately call "The Lodge"

Ok, decided I’m going to mount an old school bolt on Jeep hook on this for the pick point. Will decide exact location later. Bent that tube up the other day & it went well other than I used a liberal radius die and stuck the compound bends too close together. So on second bend first radius dug into die corner removing some tube, skinning it really. However the tube turned out with the look I wanted so I’m happy. Then added 1/8 x 1 flat to top edge of pan, need to grind welds and clean up for paint next.

Middle daughter Shelby turns 15 today, getting her learners permit.

A little scary actually, of the three she’s the only one who ever had a speed limit on 4wheeler at the farm which she disregarded constantly.

Her first car will be a mustang (i’ve always told her we named her after Carol Shelby) and she’s been saving for last year or so.

Stay off the sidewalks.....

Not sure, Lucra out of San Marcos. Owner confirmed they didn’t clean up any of the welding he has to do it. Guessing he got it for less money that way. I wouldn’t let stuff leave my shop like that, wasn’t ever an option.

Yes, in case you need to use a snatch block. You need a single point to pick off the truck. I have a couple ideas for that so it’s not a big deal.


And it is petite ish, I prefer the term minimalist though. I doubt Norm will approve however since we all know how much he likes overkill big heavy bumpers....  :cheesy:

Then I bent up some tube, need to figure out a single shackle mount. I’ll add the piece of tube and some 1 inch flat on an angle around the upper lip to finish it off. Then sand and paint.

So after getting sidetracked more than once today here is where I left off. I notched the rear vertical of the winch pan in both back corners. Then tacked if into place after cleaning up the frame tubes with a grinder. Tomorrow I will section up both tubes to give this front winch area some shape and curb appeal then start adding back in material to strengthen it up.
