I just don't want to wind up missing a digit or limb. I can sometimes get in a hurry to get results.
Well done. it's almost as though the hood is in the way of the sweeper, not the other way around. The eye on the brush guard looks evenly spaced. your camera is mind screwing us. I say move the hood;-)
Can't believe there has been no DOT activity for over 12 hours...hmm.

Well, I was gone for the last 3 days but I see you guys filled in good for "TWDT"Very nice work, shrinkage and handle!!On the extension, use an implement pin vs a 1/4 bolt, no tools to find,,,,,,,Limb risers only go to the lower rack? Is that to push very large branches into the aircleaner and rack? I do like the spring unloader though, could those help do away with the turnbuckles?
Yikes, no big issues at su casa I hope. The trampoline springs are very stout, and if you have a collection of them they will be well suited. They have great strength and do take a beating. Should work good in round two. We had a very wicked cell come over last night. If I didn't know better I'd have been looking for rotation. Not something we normally get, and there was none, but got me thinking that I have nowhere at the cabin to hunker down...Maybe time for a bunker now too.
It's a pleasant 95 degrees here with T storms forecast for this evening.

I was noticing the patina that has started on the bumper. ::)I really like those new water cans. They work well and even take freezing well. We use those on the land when we're out and hold up quite well to the beatings and abuse of riding in sleighs and trailers. I'd guess the bracing you added stiffened up the gate significantly. It's going to be a project to liner this bumper. Looks great!
Just three more things to add to this bumper project then it's grindin' and paintin' time!
A better approach would be some explosive bolts designed to drop the rear bumper if being pursued. THAT would cause some havoc. I look forward Don to the cooking table portion of your build. I was thinking of something similar for Anvil since we will be camping out of it often. And I need to build a tire rack, no room for a spare anywhere else.
I hate when local stores don't stock what we need. But check these out....I sent a email regarding availability and cost. http://www.hstc.com/Products/OrdnanceProducts/SepBolts/
As an idea for the fold down table I understand the legs to provide support for in camp when youll likely have more stuff on it. But you might also find that for simple on the go meals some aircraft cable to hold the table in place would work if you're just doing a quick stop. Faster to deploy etc.

But it never hurts to ask. And a hand full should only cost you a few years pay!
I think it's prudy right where it is! ;)Kind of like a tactical flower!
