Number 2 son (Corporate Pilot) wanted new mounts on the front of his 11 DMax this is what we came up with

We used 2"x2" tube and 1/2"x2" flat. Number 1 son(Production Welder) is welder, fabricator, mechanic, Sport Pilot, jack of all trades

We welded everything up slid them in to mark bolt hole locations

Then we took the mounts over to a friends house with a mill to drill out the holes

Then slid in 1"id tubing welded that up , covered front with 1/8", finished all welds then off to powder coating
