Are you taking frame flex into account, I am thinking your bumpers are going to kiss the sheetmetal when flexed out like on a majorly washed out fire road.
I like the modular build idea but thought the same about clearance. Will the upper mount be allowed to move with frame flex?Does SD still have rear blocks??
I knew you were anti block, just wondered.Will you add a flap to back of the bumper? Heck with the mud on the farm and kia parts you could be hauling a couple hundred lbs in that cavity!
That is a great counterbalance for sure! That jack is just the thing for catching kia's as you pass by. Drill a hole in the bolt above the wing nut for a small lock.Vertical is good, but does that mean it is perpendicular to the bumper or not an issue for swing?Is that the "pup" looking at your work??
Neither Franken-Snorkle nor the Rear-Bumper-Pintle-Mounted-Hi-Lift-Jack have seen the trail yet, so Darren may have a valid point. For that matter, none of us (Don included) know if that motor is even going to start There is an internet rumor circulating (started right here) that the engine in Square D is actually one of those Payr.com hard-foam engine mock-ups that hot-rod builders use when fabricating chassis' ...so, all of that parasitic-drag inducing hardware hanging out in the slipstream won't make any difference!SQUARE D IS A HANGAR QUEEN!!! START IT UP AND PROVE ME WRONG!!! Consider the gauntlet thrown! Stop farting around with bumpers and such! Start it up!Now, where is that poll function...
JR, you're goin soft on us....remember, you're the one that gave the most grief!!
Well, a garage queen at least, for now,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,What I meant on the upright, is it going to be the mount for the swingout carrier? That is why I said square to bumper, vs vertical to the ground.Now, lets give BD a little break here, he has done more work in the last couple years on Dmax and SD than most of us combined. Dmax does run and pay its way, now SD has to prove itself,,,,,,,,,,,
Tell ya what. As soon as I get the rear bumper thing done, I'll start the engine before going on to the front and rear springs...OK?
and this is coming from the guy that just disappeared for 2-? months to oversee a pool being built and has left us all hangin in regards to his build..............;D
