I say after you weld it solid you don't grind anything and let it sit in the rain and rust slightly, then clear coat it!

I still have to weld the nails all over it yet

and add on my License plate that says "I don't like people" or "Are you a democrat?" or "You're parked in my space" or "Wallace for governor" or something redneck like those!

That's what I'd do.

It'd make it easy to get supplies out to the farm, even before the road is upgraded.

I know on all those points!

I wish I was financed in a manner suited to all this stuff I'd like to get for RM projects.

I would dearly love to get one with a box on it to kit out as a super expedition vehicle, RM style in the future. But I think I can swing getting the Cat 225 which holds a higher priority to get the hide site build some needed help. Can't swing both just yet...

That one still has the armored up cab. I think all of the ones for sale these days will have the standard thin skin cabs. I doubt those armored cab trucks ever go on the civy marker.

BTW Mikey, was up in your hood for the weekend...Oakbrook for a wedding. Got to do Navy Pier on Saturday. Traffic and parking was a bear, but the pier and activities were tops. Good pizza and that roast beef sub sandwich thing as well.
Driving back from the nature preserve park through some of those neighborhoods at night, well, I didn't feel so comfortable with that...

Nice progress Don.  I do like the look and function of the front bumper.  Practical... 

On the D-rings, we have a lot of experience with them.  Use them on a lot of our trailers, tractors, and trucks.  On trucks, we weld them directly to  heavy wall pipe.  No issues when pulling out a truck weighing over 10k pounds.  Sideways pull or from the front.
On tractors, again, no issues, but we have them welded directly to flat plate, close to 1/2" thick, and then bolted to the frame.  No issues.
On the trailers, we have had slight issues.  We have used them to bind down equipment when hauling heavy loads.  Over the years, with the constant side ways bind, and bouncing, they eventually tear the I-beam they are welded too.

In your situation, just my opinion, I feel for normal use you should be fine.  But, if you really get hung up, or make a hard side pull, I wouldn't doubt if they pull that plate outward.  Welds will be fine.  Plate will bend before they break loose.  But, if you are in that much of a predicament, then I'm sure looks will be the least of your worries.  ;)


On the LED lights you purchased...  I have used a few lights on the front of my trucks...  Before you ever cut out the holes and mounted them in, I would check them at night time with the high beams turned on.  I'm sure they would help illuminate the ground area some, but it is possible it would not be enough to make a difference.  I have been running two of the Rigid brand lights, which are the best money can buy as well as the best products on the market.  My over head light bar will practically drown them out.  Had I double checked before mounting, I would not have mounted them where they are at.  But, being I had already drilled the holes, ran wires, and installed the switch, I left them.  Pretty much useless.  Now, compared to factory headlights, then yes, they are more than beneficial. 
Anyways, I know you do your homework, and double check everything.  Just didn't want you to have to make cuts in the bumper that weren't necessary, and then have to go back and fill them up.  Not counting running all the wires.  You may kick in headlights, and realize that those lights just aren't going to suffice, or maybe two will be plenty.  Who knows.  Just play with it, as I'm sure you will...

There were a few other things I wanted to comment on, but I will have to go back and read I guess.  Been out of the country for a week, trying to get caught back up.   8)

Welcome back Ash

Note taken on the lights. I plan to mount them in the angular plate which will orient them to the side of the road and beyond. No light getting there anyway, so they will help some.

I used these shackles as well on my Tundra build circa 2003 ish. Worked just fine there on that light weight truck.

OK getting back into the project mode, first thing I did was to cut the center tubes to proper length and tack them in place.

I selected some thick wall DOM chrome molly tubing to serve as sleeves so that I could build the side pieces and just slip them over the stubs, then weld everything up.

Using those extensions I made a week ago some tube was bent into a 90 degree and fish-mouthed to fit the lower tube

Simplicity and strength. Keep stuff away from the headlight and body work and allow the main bumper to carry the forces and weight

I want too!!!

I want everyone to get along. Democrats and Republicans, ISIS and Catholics, Hatfields and McCoys, Air Force and girl scouts, left and right, up and down, east and west, this and that, here and there, black and white, peas and carrots, and water and oil...I just want it to all get along...

Well actually

On a serious note, I like the bars too, fits together with the rest of Squareness!  :)

Copy that!

It's all squared up in a military sort of way!

I want everyone to get along. Democrats and Republicans, ISIS and Catholics, Hatfields and McCoys, Air Force and girl scouts, left and right, up and down, east and west, this and that, here and there, black and white, peas and carrots, and water and oil...I just want it to all get along...

Matthew 10
34 “Do not think that I came to bring peace on the earth; I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. 35 For I came to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; 36 and a man’s enemies will be the members of his household.

Kids today don't know how easy they have it. When I was young, I had to walk 9 feet through shag carpet to change the TV channel.

After reviewing the recent photo's on a full-size computer, I would just like to state:

That's a BEAST of a Truck there Don!
I almost feel giddy for you when you start her up and take it for a spin, and then that first trip to the farm..........somethings getting run over with destructive purpose and forethought! 

You'll harken back to your Tank Commander days, find someone with a tripod mounted .50 and put in the bed and powerslide up to an objective, pop the hatch and ventilate something!

Can't wait to see it in action!

Would this work??

Yep it would

I know that gun well

I know what it feels like to be sitting about 3 feet away from the muzzle while its spitting out lead. Ours were set at 3000 rounds per minute...per gun. I had two guns, but only 9,000 rounds of ammo...That's all the aircraft would lift!
